This is a single roll of film exposed in overlapping sections with a pinhole camera, the blended images trace my recent journey along the St Michael’s leyline as part of my ongoing project about lines and their meaning.

Leylines are alignments of significant locations in a landscape and have been suggested to mark conduits of spiritual energies along which places of worship, healing or ritual naturally congregate.

My choices of what to photograph on the journey were made spontaneously and according to my own sense of what felt meaningful. The image is a personal leyline, particular to time and place and a set of experiences but it’s also a work about wider meanings given to and taken from lines in the wider world. What is it about alignment that carries significance for us? Why do we seek out these patterns and paths to meaning? Does something lie below the lines we write on the landscape or are they just projections of our need for order and structure?

And treelax….

Out now, the definitive guide to forest bathing from and Gary Evans - “The Healing Power of Trees”

Illustrated throughout with my photographs and filled with wit, wisdom and wonder, it’s a beautiful companion to being in nature.

To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled be dark feet and dark wings.

Happy solstice everyone. X

I got a preview of the work they’re performing and it’s like Sondheim micro-dosing on ayahuasca in the most beautiful way.

“Last Cigarette” 2024

This image is my personal, ambiguous memorial to smoking, something that has given me pleasure and pain, which both attracts and repels me, which I miss but am also glad to be rid of. It deserves a memorial.

When things are bad for us, like smoking, we should give them up. It’s not easy to do, even though it’s necessary to prevent future suffering we might continue to avoid the hard choices. It seems to me that modern life is riddled with examples of this dilemma, of knowing what should be done, or not done, but feeling unable to believe in the pleasures of the future at the cost of the pleasures of the now. This is true on the personal level but it also applies on a global level. Are fossil fuels, industrial meat production and capitalism so different from the bad habits we each struggle to break? I think that in the years to come there will need to be many more things “given up” for the sake of the future and I also think that doing so will be much easier if we are able to accept the loss wholly, without rose-tinting or demonising. Nothing is completely bad and we should be able mourn and celebrate at the same time.

Props to for the beautiful tabernacle frame that completes this image and provides the perfect ledge for my handmade fag-end sculpture.
