Portfolio > Nature

Works depicting the flora and fauna of the natural world. I have used images of animal and natural subjects in my work over the years to address environmental issues and as metaphors for both the fragility and tenacity of life. The more recent works depicting wildlife focus on the idea of re-empowering nature by putting the viewer in the position of being the prey. e.g. "Final View" and "From the Darkness".
