These photographs are some of the favourite pieces i have done here in madrid. They sit right on the line between photography and painting, and alot of peoples first impressions is that they are paintings. I think this is where alot of my interest in the works lie. the fact that they are direct reflections of reality interests me, and how these beautiful abstract "paintings" are the unintentional by-product of contemporary and past architecture dating back to the 1800's. the windows creating the reflections are contemporary, but the subjects of the reflections span a few centuries. I find this quite an interesting point. some of the last images shown he become vaguely reminiscent of some keith tyson paintings I have seen, the ones where he uses the chemical reactions to create the paintings for him. They have a similar means of existence, his paintings are the product of human intervetion mixixing certain chemicals, and mine are the product of a complicated series of historical events taking place to create the exact scenery that creates these reflections.
