From 2 June, to 30 July, 2014, at Rothes Halls in Glenrothes, Scotland, I exhibited most of these images in a show that was somewhat un-creatively called extraOrdinary.

Using a child’s kaleidoscope as a visual analogy, these images take single photographs, invert them, overlay them, reflect them, creating abstractions in the midst of realism. We tend to trust too implicitly the surface depiction of a realistic photograph. This often causes us to fail to see deeper meanings that can be found in many photographs. By changing the angles and patterns of the images, a viewer is arrested in their perception, asking the question ‘what is that really?’ This leads the viewer to explore the deeper details and, potentially, a deeper meaning.
