HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT - A COMMENT

Interesting use of perspective, darkness, and light, making some of Rik Pinkcombe’s images look like toys in a blurred landscape. The triptych is made interesting by the colour of the lights, which shine out as turquoise blobs throughout the pictures, disappearing into the horizon. My particular favourites are the Fire Escape Door which is slowly being swallowed up by a hand of creeping ivy, and the two Ice Pictures which create an interesting pattern and form, each being distorted by the artist’s use of the camera.
