Portloe

If the name of this village wasn't in the title I probably wouldn't let you know where it was. It's one of those places which you want to keep to yourself and not advertise to far and wide for fear of hordes of tourists turning up.

There's not much in Portloe, a post office, a couple of pubs, a hotel and around 30 cottages, but, it has a really great unspoilt vibe about it, one which keeps me coming back again and again.

With this joiner I wanted to capture the village nestled down between the steep cliffs, I had a fair bit of climbing to get to the correct vantage point overlooking the village.

I was very pleased to capture the path as it's leading down towards the village, it invites the viewer to take an imaginary stroll down into the village.

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.
