Abi is drawn to the ever changing element of water, seduced by the lost worlds and hidden details found while walking along river banks and shore lines.
'Everything flows,' said Heraclitus 'everything is in constant flux, nothing is abiding. Therefore we cannot step twice into the same river. When you step into the river for the second time neither you nor the river are the same.'
It is the continual 'change' that essentially propels the artist to investigate the poetical element of water. She is drawn to light and the abstract qualities found below the waters surface in the form of pattern, reflection and diffraction.
The images invite investigation and challenge the viewers' preconcieved ideas of photography. They are printed using a giclee process, light fast inks giving true representations of the original moment of capture. No filtres or adjustments are used during the production of the work. Generally each piece is dry mounted onto a block mount to emphasize the strength of movement extracted from its original source. A smooth UV filtre is bonded to the front of the photograph to allow handling and print stability garanteed for over 100 years.
Commisions and a bespoke service is offered. Previous commissions have been printed onto glass, perspex or framed traditionally. Pieces have been made to fill entrance ways at sizes up to 4mtrs in size, enveloping the viewer with colour and texture.
