The derivation of the word PHOTOGRAPHY comes from Greek phōs meaning "light" and graphē meaning "drawing" or "writing", literally translating to "Drawing or Writing with Light". In its essence photography is all about capturing light, either bouncing off of or being absorbed by an object. This phenomena produces colour. The iconography of and expression through colour leads down many roads; the emotional, the spiritual and the sublime, as well as its many practical applications. Colour has been scientifically defined and explained. It’s been studied by advertising people in an effort to discover its ability to affect emotions and compel behaviour. Artists have been observing and experimenting with colour…, well, for as long as there have been artists. My newest series COLOUR, is an exploration of colour through photography and a nod to the abstract expressionists and the colour field painters from the 1940s - 50s, such as Josef Albers, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, and from a little early Piet Mondrian and Jean Arp.
