Wavelengths

'Wavelengths' is an exploration of light, colour and form through the creation of transfigured natural images. The result is a series of multi-layered image-scapes exploring the spectrum of visible wavelengths and my fascination with refraction and the interaction of light and glass, taking the images through the colours of the rainbow. These images are linked to a selection of poetry that provides a sidelight on the images. One does not illustrate the other, but gives a different departure point for interpretation.The poetry is chosen to have some relevance to the facing image - in a variety of styles, from 18th century to modern poets, and from well-known favourites to unknown poems.
