Itchy Scratchy Picture Show

Beach Scene Treeeeeeeeee Scenery I was invited by Jason Evans to exhibit some photographs with himself and others.
Here are some of the photographs i sent for the exhibition titled Itchy Scratchy Picture Show at:
Permanent Gallery in Brighton. 2nd October until 8th November 2009 This is what they told me about the show: Itchy Scratchy Picture Show is a photographic exhibition about process and thinking. Happy accidents and odd epiphanies that stand alone and point a way. The work will be displayed straight on the wall in a uniform size from a digital file. The project is as serious as it is light hearted. “I think of it as the picture/s that you print up, just to a small working size, to get a look at. The ones that interest and trouble you because there is something that you don’t fully understand about them, as if you unconsciously did something. These pictures seem to signpost a new direction in a photographer’s practice, they are transitional pieces, and precursors to a new phase or project. I think all the best photographers have the guts to move beyond the pictures they already know they can make, and spend time with the itchy scratchy pictures to work out what comes next.” Charlotte Cotton In this show Jason Evans invites a selection of exciting photographers to contribute such an image. Sounds good.
