The middle image is variation on an older work which only used the top half of the image. The older image lacked a certain impact that I was looking for at the time. By "mirroring" the image beneath the original work I found a strong symetry that was further exploited by creating the cold blue ice-like quality of the lower section's colour shift.

The right hand image is one of a series of studies on the nature of rock. I’ve used a similar image in the background of glow mix and here I look at the idea of creating the warmth you find in Australia’s opals.
