Artist Statement:
Photographer, Andrew Harrison states, "For too many years I working as a commercial photographer - These images all sought perfection. The products were polished - food was styled, and models unblemished. Even though retouching was still a manual process involving airbrushes and skilled graphic artists there was little reality in the finished images. Now it is time for me to make images and supply them as limited editions. These objects, people and places with their patina and life carried proudly are in line with the ancient Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi. Wabi-Sabi is the Japanese concept that impermanence and imperfection are integral and even beautiful parts of life. My photographic still life series are a personal exploration and celebration of the beauty found within everyday objects. I aim to transform ordinary objects into captivating subjects that evoke emotions, provoke thoughts, and invite viewers to see the world from a different perspective. Each still life photograph tells a unique story, showcasing the interplay of colour, texture, and form. Through my lens, I seek to uncover the hidden narratives and symbolic meanings within the objects - I hope to inspire viewers to pause, reflect, and find beauty in the seemingly mundane. By highlighting the poetry found in everyday objects, my goal is to evoke a sense of wonder, encouraging viewers to see the extraordinary in the ordinary and appreciate the inherent beauty present in the world around them. I see the potential for images all around me all the time in objects and nature."
