Michael Wesley - Vanishing and Emerging Presence

It's taken me almost three years to hunt down the person who took these 3 year exposures of buildings being constructed in New York and Germany. When describing them to my housemate he promptly popped them up on his screen within minutes. It turns out the photographer in question is a certain Michael Wesley, and that I am appalling at searching for things on the internet...

Abstraction and Metropolis

This is some of the work I produced in my Foundation Year when looking at how to portray the urban landscape.

Foundation Workings

Here's some early work that I completed in my Foundation Diploma at Maidstone UCA. I was very interested in mechanical objects at the time and got these car parts from a local scrap yard. I used the oil, grease and general "gunk" from within these objects to aid my charcoal still life drawings of them. In some cases I experimented with combining these materials with others like acrylic paint or the bronze substance in the picture immediately below which I found whilst rummaging through my dad's garage.
