Is this a different side to your work?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo, not abstract, they are all re-constructed. The raw material which is a digital photo is treated and processed, and then it is re-assembled with any lost information re-interpreted. Re-interpreting is not a process of abstraction. They probably just look like that at first.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 330px;\"><strong>Some look like very traditional abstract paintings.<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s funny because they are completely products of the digital world, so unlike traditional painting. They are computer generated images, processed and exaggerated and redrawn. Nearly all the work is based on revealing things that were not originally there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 330px;\"><strong>How can they be revealed if they are not there?<\/strong><br \/>\nActually I should have said \u2018invented\u2019 by the computer. There are always small inaccuracies and distortions in an image. As I work these inaccuracies get exaggerated. The desire to stretch the relationship between recorded and constructed images has led to a succession of treatments that almost completely overwhelm the initial image with artefacts. Normally computers are not very good at introducing random elements, by themselves. But when used outside their normal parameters, in a chaotic environment, the results are almost never repeatable. This is something like the medium interacting with itself, unpredictably.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_678\" style=\"width: 518px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-678\" class=\"size-full wp-image-678 \" title=\"Imitation?\" src=\"https:\/\/uuk.kxe.temporary.site\/website_0e10ecbc\/book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Innovation-or-imitation3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"508\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/superabundance.co.uk\/book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Innovation-or-imitation3.jpg 508w, https:\/\/superabundance.co.uk\/book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Innovation-or-imitation3-300x295.jpg 300w, https:\/\/superabundance.co.uk\/book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Innovation-or-imitation3-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/superabundance.co.uk\/book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Innovation-or-imitation3-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/superabundance.co.uk\/book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Innovation-or-imitation3-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/superabundance.co.uk\/book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Innovation-or-imitation3-64x64.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-678\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8216;Innovation or imitation? #3&#8217; &#8211; 2006<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cNearly all the work is based on revealing things that were not originally there.&#8221; You have a lot of abstract pieces in your catalogue.
