Works on Paper

This collection of works on paper reflects Edward’s deep interest in harmony and balance. Each piece stands on its own as a powerful expression within his fine art practice, offering a more accessible yet equally resonant experience.

Edward’s process usually begins one of two ways: either he is sparked by an idea and begins gathering visual inspiration online, or he starts taking photographs even before he fully knows what he’s looking for. By the time a photoshoot happens, Edward has a sense of what might emerge, but he also leaves room for the unexpected. It’s often in those unplanned moments that something truly meaningful surfaces.

When Edward reviews the photographs afterward, certain images begin to reveal themselves, and evoke themes, memories, or even the visual language of other artists or films. These connections aren’t always intentional, but they light a creative spark. Sometimes, a photograph feels like a quiet homage to another artist’s work, not as a copy, but as something that echoes their spirit. That unexpected alignment becomes the backbone for the piece he’s about to create.

Edward thinks that’s where his love of harmony and balance really comes in. There’s a sense of reciprocity in this process, like when he follows a thread of intuition, something responds. A subject leaps out at him, a mood settles in, and the rest begins to flow naturally.

Each work on paper is created within a condensed, energized timeframe that allows him to experiment freely with composition, texture, colour, and emotion. Despite their smaller scale, these pieces carry just as much depth and intention as his larger works. They are not studies or sketches; they are a collection, intimate and complete, and they invite viewers to experience a more personal and immediate connection to the themes that run through his art.
