Iteration
One of my enduring influences is that of iteration, whether natural or manmade, which is about how systems repeat continually but with the influence of direction and/or time. The crux for me is how everything operates in some way through iteration - from the continents moving to the seasons.
This series is rooted in this concept and seeks to observe the details that are lost and found when a starting undergoes the process of change. Often images created in different series are used here.

Divided, Reformed, Repeated.
2020
Breaking down a single image into multiple, never ending variants.
This series was created as a need for order and control during the first lockdown in April 2020, it gave me something intense, immersive and compelling to focus on.
It was inspired by Pattern by Gerhard Richter.
21 groups of images
The groupings created using segments of the original image - divided, reformed, repeated - until only rings of colour remain. As smaller segments are used the more repetition is required, for example:
60 degree segments create 6 variants
10 degree segments create 36 variants
0.5 degree segments create 720 variants
2511 possible iterations of a single image
Selections from each grouping were chosen to demonstrate the breadth of the changes as the image was rotated.
