A dance of geometric shapes and light creates a mystical aura in this abstract composition...
"I sometimes like to give the impression of a captured moment - mimicking a flash from a camera - a burst of energy." - Mike G Jackson
"Exploring new formats, techniques and ideas provides me with the foundations to all of my work. Since 2006 I had purposely avoided colour, and due to physical restrictions in the small darkroom I was never tempted to explore what colour could give me. However, I eventually started experimenting with different chemicals and processes and to my surprise discovered that colour could expand my work immensely. I found that suddenly I had another factor to control - another limitless variation that I had to place into the equation. Colour burst into my work and started taking over. Because of this my work needed to be simplified and reassessed. I was already juggling with form, tone, texture, placement and relationships between forms - now I also had to decide, in the dark, what colour everything should be. This finally made me put the brakes on and start to consider colour as an equal to form.: - Mike G Jackson
