Charlestown

Charlestown is a small village on the south coast of Cornwall, UK. At one time it was at the epicentre of the world china trade with tall ships cueing up to take on precious clay cargo to distant shores.

Nowadays it's used as a small harbour, still for tall ships, as well as for the backdrop for Hollywood movies needing an 18th century harbour.

This was one of my earlier pieces where I went to great pains to not photograph people (something I changed later on). I remember this being a relatively busy day with tourists milling around, and because of this it took a long, long time to capture the photos.

The Wonderstuff, Fisherman's blues

The Unseen collaborator

Every Joiner begins in silence, then finds its structure through its unseen collaborator—music. The tempo sets the pace of assembly; melodies suggest movement and balance. Music shapes the emotional architecture of each piece, guiding where energy builds and where calm returns. To truly experience a Joiner, it should be viewed while listening to the music that shaped it. Only then does the visual rhythm align with the heartbeat, the beat, it was born from.

Each Joiner is created but not yet printed.

This is intentional. Printing every piece in advance would compromise the freedom each collector deserves. By commissioning a Joiner at the moment of purchase, you decide its scale and presence—tailored precisely to your space and vision. Every print is then produced to museum-grade archival standards, ensuring permanence, precision, and exclusivity.
