Alison o’doherty

Photographer, Metal Etcher, Printer. Taking images from nature and shifting them to make people curious, my work is detailed and simple.

I grew up by the sea and loved its ability to change constantly, nature is the same, evolving through the seasons. This ability to change is what attracts me, and I like to explore that in my work.

My photographs are often the starting point. I have transferred onto fabric, screen printed and etched onto small metal to adapt and develop the image.

They are intended to be initially intriguing, to be unclear, but then revealing, so creating that feeling of being ‘in the know’ as it becomes recognised by the observer.
