John Garstone graduated with an M.A. in photography from De Montfort University and has been exhibited widely across the UK for the past five years. The theme of the exhibition is the interaction of light and water, and the images on display are generated both by cameraless and lens-based techniques.
This body of work evolved from an appreciation of the origin of life on our planet through the reactions induced in water by the action of sunlight.
Waves of light interact with waves of water to form the basis of the images in this exhibition, not completely divorced from the way in which different sound waves interact to form the basis of music, which has led to the suggestion that abstract art could well be considered as visual music.
