Sarco
I'm an abstract artist, fascinated with capturing the inner colourscapes of emotion and experience.
To do this I find unlikely objects...often things that people have discarded (too old, too ugly, unwanted, unloved) and transform them.
All the effects you see are created in-camera - not in photoshop.
Things I don’t have
-
A studio - I work among the clutter and real life of my flat, and occasionally outside.
-
Any formal education in art - I am not the product of an art school or degree in photography.
-
Much time - I dream of having more than a few hours to create my abstracts.
-
Much equipment - I have a 7D, two lenses, a remote shutter release, a tripod and a light tent (which was a christmas gift).
The limitations imposed by all this are also a force that shapes my work...a force that I treasure and resent.
Things I do have
-
A compulsion to create - I have been creating art for years. I couldn’t stop if I wanted to.
-
An obsession with expressing things you can’t see - emotional reactions, physical sensations, the identity we hold in our minds.
-
An urge to show you the worlds you cannot see in everyday objects.
-
A wish that you take for yourself the feelings my artworks give you. I can tell you my inspiration, but what matters more is what the picture means to you.
