Feeling and Sensation Diptychs Studley Woods

In December 2025, I photographed a set of trees at Studley Woods near Oxford – which is actually a copse. These trees are set beside a ditch, creating a boundary. They are various ages but some are older – perhaps being repeatedly coppiced. Their gnarled trunks with moss growing upon have a contrasting texture to the shimmering grass in the winter sunlight, create images with a soft almost velvet feel.

Feeling and Sensation Installation

In August 2025, I completed a design for an installation in the Feeling and Sensation series including producing the materials for it. Since I had nowhere to exhibit it then I created a virtual animation using CAD software which is shown here. This installation focused on homelessness, cruelty and the anaesthesia which we endure for it to exist.

Feeling and Sensation Diptychs

At the start of July 2025, I had begun to arrange photographs which I created with my Rolleicord film camera in pairs – diptychs. The black and white photos were sensuous. I was intrigued by how they modified each other: complementing or contrasting, creating a relation between them and of them.
