End of Days

There can be comfort in darkness. 

All endings are transitions.

Colours are memories. 

Indelible. 

The End of Days series picks up strands from my previous poetic photographic explorations in the Land Poems, Biodes, plus the compositional trinity of the Processionals. With this ongoing sequence, I continue to isolate colours from the land with photoreactive processes, though these are predominantly skyscapes. Boundaries between land, sea, and sky are intentionally indistinct - bringing together those three realms and the psychological states they may also represent. Like the Land Poems, these may be read line by line as columns of poetry, yet their composition is less literal. 

They are intended to be exhibited as large C-type photographs or, preferably, mounted on light-boxes and hung as triptychs. Alternatively, feel free to print them out on a laser-printer for architects' models and modern dolls' houses, or to be used as bookmarks when reading fantasy, folklore, and philosophy...
