TITLE: Collections

These pictures form part of an ongoing series of camera-less photography work entitled ‘Collections’, in which I explore my small collections of 'things' (mini-museums ranging from Natural History to Packaging, involving objects that are often neglected, broken and overlooked). Each item is brought into the picture and allowed to change in size and position until an abstract narrative starts to present itself. With a dash of storytelling whimsy the elements begin to interact and co-exist in ways otherwise impossible, developing their own unique personalities within their new found existence. I hope you enjoy them.
