The Science of forensics has become more strenuous and precise today than the early fictional detectives solved crimes purely by deduction and circumstantial evidence.

The long road, off road, back road, winding road, high road, low road and roads to nowhere have all guided us towards our fates and fortunes…

I personally prepare all prints using Fine Art Archival Papers and Inks such as Hahnemuhle, Canson or Moab Papers (or what the print warrants). All work is signed front or on back if it has a title. All prints are 42cm x 50.5 cm with a border which is my preferred size. Each image is unique and cropped to reflect this and additionally have a 6.5cm white border included. Road Works are a special print on a Metallic Photo paper and Di-bond mounted A0 size (No Border.)
