Hi, there!

Some of my pictures are available to buy as art prints at the Saatchi online gallery at under my name, Michael Rawling: www.saatchiart.com/account/artworks/861831

I began a fascination with image-making early, having a SLR camera from the age of 13 and the creative process has fascinated my the Epsom School and Bath School of Art with a degree show consisted of machines, sculptures and self evolving paintings using technology, chemicals and organic materials.

Elemental Series

This continues today with the Elemental Series, where natural elements and compounds are collected from the very location depicted within the photograph and the resulting scenes you see in Michael’s work today are created not just by light on film but by naturally occurring liquid, mineral elements and organic matter from the scene and chemically bonding to the film over several months, the resulting Landscapes are created more completely from the scene pictured itself.

Echoing ancient alchemical methodologies, the process of production of the images and their resulting mystical appearance both reflect the ups and downs of the search undertaken by an artist to probe humankind's place in nature and in our own spiritual landscape.

Thanks for peeking: please favourite or comment on anything you want to, positive or constructive: it helps all photogs to develop our skills!
