From the series ‘Aphantasia’: work created with a view to capturing those moments when we catch our breath in awe at the sheer beauty we see before us, moments which, for those whose thoughts and memories have no visual element can never be seen again in the mind’s eye, unless with the aid of a photograph.

At The Going Down Of The Sun was taken on the pier in Helensburgh, Scotland on the 31st December 2019 at 3.20pm.

I watched as the sun dipped down behind the hills on the other side of the Clyde, which were themselves obscured by a bank of fog that distorted the horizon line. The water was only bothered by the gentlest of disturbances and the light reflecting on the surface was in turns slate grey, turquoise and gold. The air was cold breath brushing softly, but with bite against my face. I wanted to be submerged, not in the water but in this expanding universe where alchemy was at work all around me. More than anything I wanted to take it away with me, wrapped in shiny paper to open again and again. So I took a photograph. This I know. This I do not remember.
