A Little Bit About The Artist
A Statement From The Artist
I am an artist based in Bristol but I grew up in south-west Scotland, where a significant part of the original Wicker Man film was made. I have photographed a few of the locations but for this project I have submitted a picture from Bristol's Catholic cemetery. Shot on 35mm film and lith-printed by hand, I feel it would make a wonderful album cover. Generally, my work considers humanity's place in relation to the natural world, and an acknowledgement that all things must end.

Do you like scary movies? And if so which ones?
The Wicker Man (original), The Exorcist, The Omen.
