The Settling

#Photography

Photograph using a fairly long focal length of a brick built chimney or kiln (or something else?!). Pigeons have settled on the top, with one circling for a space. A dull yellow wooden door a few feet beneath the top, a metal platform and railing underneath (no external stairs). A buddleia grows from the brickwork off one side. The tops of a few other buildings visible at the bottom and some cables travel across. Large grey sky above.

I feel incredibly grateful to everyone who came along on Friday to mark the opening of my show at @cupolacontemporaryart. Sharing the work with such generous company, and seeing it so warmly received, made the night unforgettable.

Thank you,
Ax

Mushroom hunting in the woods, and now on the verge of a Sunday roast. October Sundays 🤤

Macro photograph centred on 3 small yellowy mushrooms, the middle one in focus.

Macro photograph of the top of a white mushroom. The edges are lifted and a pattern on the top makes it look like a flower

Photograph of the brick wall at the back of an industrial building. A football goal is painted in white, bordered on each side by shrubs. The grass Infront worn.

The Edge of The World
#Photography

Monochrome photograph of a Weeping Willow tree on the bank of a small river. Its branches dropping over the water, and reflected back on themselves from below. The water is otherwise a bright white, reflecting the sky above, like a void. A circle of ground has been eroded away next to the tree creating a serene little pool. Fields beyond.

Gripping
#Photography

Monochrome photograph in woodland. A folding chair is sat between trees, facing our left. Entranced by whatever is going on ahead of it. A tree trunk close to us is slowly wrapped by vines, tendrils reaching out ominously.

The Escape
#Photography

Monochrome photograph. A wooden building with thatched roof stands alone in a field. Only the top portion is visible due to long grass.

"I don’t think I’ll ever really be middle-class," says Stephen Tuffin. It’s like being British and going abroad – I tell other middle-class people I’m just there in their world as a visitor.”

Read his heartbreaking short story about a boy left alone with his father when his mum leaves, here:

The Gift

The bus was empty but for one passenger who sat halfway down the seats on the lower deck. The woman was the man’s wife and the boy’s mother and she was leaving.

Quite normal if spectral juxtaposition of London underground.
In this case it's the Liverpool Station.

Summer lovin', it happened so fast
#Photography

Photograph of, what we're once, a block of holiday chalets. Now ready for demolition, they stand surrounded by grass and shrubs. A glimmer of morning sun tries to cut through, but the shade has mostly taken over.

My first art reveal.
I always thought these were pretty silly (and this one is no exception) but once I had the idea for this I couldn't not make it.
