These pictures are real. Their invisible subjects - thoughts, emotions, memories, connections - are made visible by the 'reality' of photography. The impossible is often the truth.

Adobe's Photoshop is an artist’s dream. For anyone who loves collage - who instinctively selects, arranges, and makes connections between disparate elements - it is the perfect tool. The potential lies in the way it uses layers. Collage had always been restricted by the size and colour of found objects and imagery, and by problems of attachment. So many things - three-dimensional, maybe, or too large, too precious, too insubstantial - couldn't be included at all. Translucency was another problem; most layers obscured the underlying material. Digital montage frees the artist from such limitations. Images can be imported from anywhere, and combined with total freedom and subtlety into a completely new whole.

The medium operates somewhere between imagination and a physical reality. Developing pictures are in a state of flux, not-yet-existing in a hinterland of intangible code, moving both forwards and backwards in time. Realities are blurred. By using photography and other ways of recording actual things, the pictures can seem 'real' by virtue of their 'real' content while being entirely fantastical. The fantastical, when a representation of an inner emotion or motivation, is a different kind of truth.
