Material Eternities is a series of conceptual portraits of organic and inorganic material assemblages. Through photographic study this series of works reveal the qualities and connections shared between materials and considers how material characteristics inform our material identity.

Here randomly found organic and inorganic objects are juxtaposed by chance and through careful experimentation to form otherworldly material assemblages. Exploiting the transfer (reflectivity) of light on material, these constructions are photographed and recalling the history of material alchemy, the photographic images are digitally tinted with precious metals. From this approach emerge works which present the viewer with a material dialogue of shadow and contrast, texture and sheen, biomorphic form, subtle colour mixing and pure abstraction that release the materials from their raw state to reveal deeper connections between materials and the nature of things (materialhood).
