As the Anvil Falls

Using Greek mythology as a lens to observe the world, the book contains work which is neither rooted in time nor place. The images retell numerous myths using abstractions and metaphor to embellish and shape them in the image of the photographer’s experience.
Open in scope, the image making process is a reactionary response to surroundings, avoiding manufacturing scenarios and instead using a state of mind garnered from the consumption of mythology to bring myth to the forefront of the compositions. The work seeks to investigate and comment on the prevalence of Greek mythology within our society and the ways in which it manifests within our everyday surroundings.

Romance

Romance seeks to break the visual language that underpins the idealised notion of the romantic getaway. These images present the viewer with records of direct and unconscious experiences, in order to short-circuit the viewer's expectations. In doing so, these photographic images allow for an optical experience that bypasses any associated cliches, and allows the viewer to experience the doubts, troubles and realities that can exist beneath the undercurrent of the everyday. 
The book is accompanied by a separate small publication featuring 10 poems by writer Matthew Renshaw.

Richard Higginbottom
Room One

A photograph is a selective slice of the world that provides a fixed perspective of its subject matter. This project denies the authority of a unilateral viewpoint. It constitutes a visual interrogation of everyday objects, an investigation through space and time. Every picture is both a re–visioning of its content and a contributor to its cumulative representation. Like Cubism, it attempts to narrow the gap between the three–dimensional and the two–dimensional, the sculptural and the pictorial.

Sweet Debris

Works by four distinctive artists who share a commitment to the photograph as a means of expression were brought together in an exhibition curated by Mario Popham. Besides their affinity for photography, their work also shares a preoccupation with the stuff of modern life: the overlooked and discarded matter accumulating in the peripheries of our collective vision. These artists prove to us that the detritus is still worthy of our attention; that there is still uncommon beauty and meaning to be found amongst the material remnants of our endeavours.
Rather than producing a catalogue that faithfully reflects the form and content of the exhibition, this publication presents an opportunity to upturn the completed puzzle and reconfigure the pieces anew. New rhythms and formal relationships are suggested through proximity and placement. Punctuating this fragmented flow of images are essays by William Boling, Sara Jaspan, Mike Pinnington, & Jacob Charles Wilson who in surveying the debris, illuminate new paths of meaning and suggest fresh ways of seeing.
