DistoMorph
DISTORTION is the act of twisting or altering something out of its true, natural, or original state
MORPH - to undergo transformation from an image of one object into that of another
DistoMorph is an exploration and celebration of colour and texture, line and shape, movement and growth, as witnessed in nature. I take my photographic images and refine them to a single area of interest, often also zooming in to macro level. Colour saturation / distortion / amplification takes the design inspirations to another plane, a parallel world, seen as though looking through a kaleidoscope or affected by LSD. Many of the original inspiration elements are tiny, but have become greatly enlarged, adding to the strangeness.
By examining and amplifying the aspects of nature I find rich, intriguing, and beautiful, my aim is to create unique, vital new forms expressing my reverence for the beauty found in nature and my resonance with it.
Toured from 2025-2026 at Warwick Regional Art Gallery, Gympie Regional Art Gallery, Dogwood Crossing Miles, Lockyer Valley Regional Art Gallery, Gatakers Artspace and New England Regional Art Gallery.
