So ... put some of my visual poem work online here.
These are photographic prints (on C-Type metallic paper), so they have a lustrous, irridescent surface in keeping with the material.
Mounted on aluminium, battenned off the wall, they are beautiful objects in themselves, as well as being open to interpretation by viewers.
They generate a lot of conversations when I show them - much more than my observational images.

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.
