The work on the following six pages is a re-visit to photographs taken in the second half of the 1990's, in
London, Italy, the Swiss Alps and Scotland.
One day, in 2008, I began to play with some of my images, using the stunningly creative software, Photoshop. I sought to find ways of entering the original photographs of the Buddha anew, to evoke a graphic interpretation, to suggest energy and oneness of human and Earth, to bring out the mystery and the wonder of this iconic figure which calls us to develop wisdom in our lives. I have been particularly interested in the power of Photoshop to enhance my original feeling in some of the images - namely, that form exists - comes forth - out of formlessness. The fecund void.
