Glass Project
In the winter of 2002, the greenhouse at our croft was battered beyond redemption by the winds. Subsequently it was dismantled and the remnants of glass stored out of sight… possibly to be used one day in a cold frame… which never quite happened.
In early 2006 I began to play around with various ways of photographing the stacked panes and loved the way the light would diffuse through the glass even when the lens was touching it. Water trapped between the panes gives an eerie underwater feel to some of the shots and the mosses and grasses surviving in amongst, it added a sense of landscape and ‘otherworldliness’.
The broken edges, when shot in super macro, evoked images of mountains and snowy far away lands, while the straight edges taken from above lend themselves to beautiful linear abstracts.
I never cease to be amazed at the fascinating and evocative images, which can be found in the most ordinary items around us, and the ever-changing miniature landsapes produced by the effect of light.
