"I often represent time as a repetition of a form within my work. This repetition sometimes shows the passing of a day, or the movement of an object."

"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

"The goal isn't to replicate the real world - it is to show where the real world and the process meet - sometimes pushing towards the real world, sometimes pushing towards the process - but never completely at either extreme."
