Collection Info Dark landscapes from home reflecting on memory, distance and the passage of time.

Alba (Al-a-buh) Dubh (Doo) translates from the Gaelic as dark or black Scotland and this series of dark landscapes explores the subtleties of light revealed as each place recedes in distance and time. These images are small and fragile, like etchings from some bygone age, rich in texture and tone but lacking fine detail, much like memory itself.

Metadata times and dates form important elements fixing each forever to that place and seems apt they become permanent in the blockchain.
