'I first began to create scanned works 3 years ago whilst studying Art Foundation and ever since then my passion for it has grown. Most artists who use a scanner are seen as photographers as they use it as a form of camera but being a painter at heart, I see the scanner as a canvas that can be explored, altered and worked into with the objects I use. Primarily I began working with portraiture and appealing objects but over the past year I have refined my work into the more abstract. My first non-portrait scan set was called 'Musical Traces' (see at bottom of the page) and with this I used a musical device to try and bend light and replicate a visual sound wave. The colours and intensity of the wave would allow the viewer to participate in imagining what sort of noise is being created. My most recent set 'Abstraction' is looking at the concept of abstract art and viewing the paint as a subject rather than a material. As the paint itself becomes the focus, the ideas behind the painting become conceptual and are open to visual interpretation. The way I create my work is usually spontaneous and experimental; testing things out repetitively until something unique happens.'
