Seen from above, familiar landscapes can become something entirely different. The horizon disappears, scale becomes uncertain, and what might normally be understood as landscape begins to reveal itself through colour, pattern, texture and form.

I am interested in the way this change of perspective can alter our understanding of a place. Rivers become lines, vegetation becomes pattern, pools of water become fields of colour, and geological formations can begin to resemble paintings or drawings. Sometimes the location remains recognisable; at other times, almost all sense of place disappears.

This shift in perspective allows me to explore the space between representation and abstraction. I am less interested in documenting a particular landscape than in finding moments where the physical world becomes something more ambiguous — where shape, colour and pattern take precedence over place.

Above is an ongoing collection, exploring my interest in looking beyond the familiar and finding new ways of seeing the landscape.
