I am really pleased to announce that I have won the Glaister Ennor Art Award on Tuesday with my entry 'Walking Space'. The opening was very lively and the exhibition runs until Saturday. This means I will have the great opportunity to exhibit at OREXART gallery next year.
Many thanks to Glaistor Ennor and Barfoot & Thompson for supporting the awards and also the tutors at AUT.

Coming Soon - new photo-composite site

I am starting up a new site for photo composites which will be available to buy. I will produce them as limited editions of between ten and twenty prints for each image.
I have access to a 60 cm wide professional epson printer at AUT university and so I can print them up to 60 cm across. Here is the link to the site: http://photo-composites.blogspot.com

photo composit using painting and photographic sources. I also made a moving image composite from this as part of a tryiptych which I showed at AUT's Talk Week.

Photographic composites

I've been using compositing techniques using 2 1/2D software for some time as prep for painting. Here are a series of photo composites which were originally made with a painting in mind but I have developed them in their own right.

Photo-composites now have their own site. It is at: www.photo-composites.blogspot.com
