Inland is a new series of landscape photographs by Mike Perry, taken between 2003 and 2007 in West Wales and the West of Ireland. As in his earlier work, Perry continues to explore the relationship between pure landscape photography and abstract painting but with a looser, less formal style than his previous work.

Experimenting with perspective, shorter depths-of-field and uneven horizons, Perry invites the viewer to experience his photography as formal compositions while at the same time embracing the intensity of the actual location. Inland is an atmospheric body of work that depicts a range of expressive textures from damp slabs of stone to prickly surfaces of green gorse, golden grass and moist patches of black heather. By capturing fragments of an imperfect landscape Perry has managed to portray a powerful spirit of place without a traditional narrative, finding a beauty in what others might view as the mundane.

The prints will be on view through September 2, 2007. The picture shows Mike Perry, Snow, Kerry, Ireland. -- www.photonet.org.uk
