Constructed, not Imaged
Everyday subjects placed in familiar settings where they do not belong, to create a surreal new form.
Available as Studio Prints and Limited Editions
Home of The Inevitability Art Method (iAM3) - a reflective observational framework using surreal imagery to support focused attention. Designed to help overstimulated minds slow down and reconnect with focused attention.
The Construction
The images are invented intuitively. They are built through a number of deliberate, repeatable methods that combine historical surrealist procedure with contemporary tools.
1. Fragmentation - A modern application of the Max Ernst photomontage. Combining distinct subjects into original photographs using modern layering techniques.
2. Stabilization - Utilizing my traditional oil on canvas still-life paintings, materially disrupted to create an entirely new, textured composition.
3. Physical Intervention - Scale and perspective are challenged through the physical placement of props, models, and real animals. From yellow rubber ducks to Stormzy and Billy the horses - subjects are photographed in situ to create deliberate errors in reality.
4. Controlled Disruption - The final shift is introduced only after the image is stabilized. Every intervention is tested and refined; a piece is only finished when it resolves into a single, unavoidable surreal inevitable form.
BODIES OF WORK
Each series explores a single idea.
Held within the familiar - until something shifts.
-
TRANSFORMATION
Reality, restructured. What was there - made visible.
-
DIS-PLACEMENT
Objects placed where they do not belong - yet feel inevitable.
