The Act of Seeing.
About
Photography was a tool I adopted in my formative years. It helped me to focus my mind by forcing me to think harder about what I was looking at. The benefits of saving material costs and darkroom hours were my motivations. It evolved into the language of choice how I have communicated.
In my university years, I collaborated with peers with a similar trade of visual perception. We endeavoured to interpret the changing world. Noted in these capacities, and as a creative group, we were invited to work with organizers of International Jazz and the World Open Theatre Festivals, World Triennial of Drawing. The encounters with creative individuals from worldwide, and interpreting their works, were influential. Working on our joint exhibition projects at home and abroad heightened my awareness of how human cooperation amplifies creativity.
I see my life as one continuous process, with turns and pitfalls along the way. Connecting dots, otherwise disconnected, became my version of creativity. I validate the remaining relationships in my life have on my emotional and rational aspects of it. Drawing from what I learned and understood, I developed ongoing interests in Life’s matter, its processes, and interactions. The transparent surfaces of the Canadia Shield environments' vast environments transformed into my petri dish.
The cultural changes made exhibiting my work in public and private galleries no longer attainable. The outcome of my explorations, urgency, or the need to share carries on.
