About kel
Creative activities
Kel Portman's creative work examines an interaction with landscape and place which is often the result of a personal or group journey, observation or event.
Multiple viewpoints and interwoven overlays replicate the dynamic sensations experienced during the 'journey process'. Works are not medium specific and are often the result of several different media that could include Photography, Printmaking, Drawing, Digital Imaging and instalation.
