UNIQUE MIXED MEDIA COLLAGE.
Shane creates idiosyncratic images often based on the Norfolk landscape – the contemporary collage technique mixes photography, design, typography and ink work – it is then heat-pressed in sections onto a material to produce a distinct final result.
The idea is to represent remembered moments – intense colours and fragmented views – at first glance, they could almost be photographic, but once the image is closely observed, the disjointed aspect of recollecting a sense of place is evident.
At times the memory is perfect and detailed; in others, the finer points are washed away with only a simple fuzz of emotion left in its place.
Above is a much treasured scene in the memories of all who pass Blickling during the Christmas weeks – for the hall and the yews are given a magical touch of night lighting that is spell binding, enjoy forever!
