Sixty Years Along The Road
Exhibited in contribution to achieving the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists Next Generation Prize 2026, and with selected works featured in the Los Angeles Center of Photography's 2025 exhibition 'Summertime Vintage' and The Mill Gallery's 2025 exhibition, Reframe: New Perspectives in Photography.
My series ‘Sixty Years Along The Road’, began with a personal review of the photographic archive of my late Grandad, Barry Wheeler, from which I began making work that reflected on a shared passion, separated by sixty years in age.
Whilst a photograph can simply represent a fixed point in perspective and moment, it can also succeed in transporting the viewer through time, and transporting them in place.
My work seeks to explore these moments of transportation, and to build upon the idea of memory being a collage of different experiences, through a fusion of our respective bodies of work.
From the Spanish Pyrenees in the 1950's to the Mountains of Snowdonia in the early 2020's, from 1960's Germany to the modern day streets of Prague, and from the deserts of Peru of the early 1980's, to the shores of the Italian Neapolitan Riviera in the early 2010's.
‘Sixty Years Along The Road’ puts you between places, between ages, and between memories, whilst celebrating friendship and passion, in a series of dynamic multi-exposure artworks.
Chrono kai Chrona
Chrono kai Chrona explores the intersection of history and the present through a layered blend of painting and photography. Each piece begins with a subject drawn from the past and re-energises it with vibrant color and dynamic textures. The work seeks to break the stillness often associated with historical artifacts and sites.
The infusion of color is central to the series. It acts as a bridge between eras, pulling the subjects out of their static, monochrome stigma and into a more immediate, contemporary space.
Chrono kai Chrona invites us to see history not as something distant or frozen, but as something alive and relevant. The series asks us to consider how the past continues to shape our present, and how we can bring new life to old stories by viewing them through a modern, energetic lens.
