Wynne Bullock

In my search to find licence for greater photographic abstraction I have been reading a couple of books about Wynne Bullock. His approach is glimpsed in the interview in this link which also gives a good selection of his images.

Key images for me are a picture of a tree trunk printed as an inverted negative image and a felled tree surrounded by new growth, which exemplifies Bullock's theory of opposites..

It's best to read what he has to say rather than me try and summarise.

It was interesting to find information of Wynne Bullock's second wife Edna and a film about her photographic journey. Their daughter Barbara is also a photographer and advocate for her parents' work.

I popped back to Willow Bridge in an attempt to make some abstractions that were more than merely abstract.

Here's an image from the early 1980s that was meant as a homage to Wynne Bullock plus a few others from the film era.
