Each of the photographers located a public or private landscape that held meaning for them and for a number of months explored that photographically.

It was a highly supportive, nurturing and ultimately collaborative effort.

In his new collection of works, the artist continues to explore the sensuous realm of paint, skin and figuration seen in his earlier paintings.
