Kia ora and welcome,
My name is Al, and I am a photographer and visual artist based in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Originally from Scotland, I studied drawing and painting at Glasgow School of Art in the 1980’s.
Over the years, my work has grown to embrace photography as an integral part of my creative practice which strongly informs a recent swing back towards painting and abstraction.
Drawing primarily on landscape, my work explores themes around time, being and place, and favours a cut-up, collage type approach embracing accident, ambiguity and multiple layers of meaning.Creatively though, just about anything goes and I enjoy the process of continual experiment and play in making visual art.

Many thanks for your visit,
Al
