In a Child's Eye

In a Child's Eye
Created from a story told to me, which reminded me of photos i'd taken. i found those images and layered them into a single image, keeping in mind my recollection of their special place. this image's story is of a woman who's favourite place is the garden of a rose-covered cottage, belonging to a treasured childhood friend, an old lady who loved to delight her but who developed mental illness. printed on c-type metallic photographic paper mounted on aluminium. the price is dependent on the size ordered: £300 for 30in square or £150 for 15in square, plus p&p. actual print doesn't have the copyright watermark. `

Adam E Justice-Mills

Adam Justice-Mills uses paint, photos and pixels, creating abstract layered pictures, concentrating on recalled movement, structure and colour. Adam's earlier works in both drawing and photography were highly figurative landscapes and portraits.

Over time, they became more interesting to him as he forgot their context but remembered the emotional significance he attaches to them. What interests him about memories is how they work - what triggers recollection and association of ideas, how much can we remember from a tiny stimulus, why do we remember some things and not others, what makes some things important to remember.

His "memory" drawing series are pen & pastel on paper. They are his exploration of how we form and recall an impression of something or someone, how their significance can be undiminished despite the forgetting of details. The relationship between the artist's memory and the subject is brought out through the repetition of a drawn line, based on a recalled pose or performance.

Adam has recently taken his interest in memory and applied it to his  photographic work. He has created two series of "Visual Poems", inspired by people's favourite places or important objects.
