The Insects are physically manufactured creatures, created by dissecting and reassembling taxidermy insects to create beautiful, yet perhaps ethically wrong, new species. The series intends to demonstrate the perversion of science, and articulate the idea that humanity has an unsettling and destructive thirst for knowledge and destructive attitude towards the Natural world. By imitatinghow within science, and even society, we can seem to carefully, yet carelessly, dissect life in order to understand it and even control it. Whether it is to simply understand how something works, to master something, or part of our continuing endeavour to understand the meaning of life.

This photograph is from Kverkfjoll, Iceland and is a panoramic image from the top of the neighbouring volcanic ridge to our campsite on the glacier. The dark sweeping feature to the right is the volcanic ash deposit from the eruption of Grimsvotn (May 2011), which contrasts with the pure white of the glacier, unaffected by the ash fall. The foreground is an extremely active hydrothermal field degassing sulphur dioxide and the distant mountains are another volcanic landscape caused by the mid Atlantic ridge.

I have used a hacked Xbox Kinect to take virtual portraits based on spatial data information. The developments of these new technologies are allowing the notion of ‘self’ to become disembodied from the physical person. With this growing separation of the mental to the physical self, our integration and reliance on technology will continue to evolve and representations through new mediums will only ever be a ‘fragmented surface’ of our identity.

Attached is a recent photographic series I have shot that focuses on the human body and how it ages. As a young person I have allways been interested in age and how generation to generation changes, seeing elderly people and hearing their stories interests me hugely and knowing that they were my age once fascinates me. This shot takes a more scientific approach to these ideas and looks at the aged human body as a study of an object more than a human being.

The enclosed image is a photogram - essentially a camera-less photograph, created in my local river. I used the elements around me such as water, sand, silt, pebbles and moon light to create this, as a response to the environment.
One of the most interesting elements for me is how this image represents and reflects the sky, and solar space. The image for me is very elemental - it interesting to me that natural engineering has helped to create this image.
The image hasn’t been edited or manipulated in any way, it has simply been scanned in so I could send it to you.

A pair of Blue Cheeked Butterfly fish (Chaetodon semilarvatus) swim together in the coral reefs off Marsa Shagra, Egypt. Butterfly fish are found only in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. They are more often than not found in pairs and have been found to mate for life.
The image was taken at dusk, just as the sun was falling behind the horizon and I was struck by the sense of peace that the reef seemed to have that afternoon.

Camping in the wind and rain next to this old abandoned forte on the coast, and on a particularly windy and dramatic night i captured the image. A gap in the storm seemed to bring a sudden gush of light, however murky, that lit up the landscape. I think it shows the loneliness and solitude of the previous occupants and that nature can take a turn for the worst especially on the bountiful coast of Britain.
