I think the role of the creative is to challenge perspectives and encourage alternative views.
Images are often about relationships, subject to background complimentary or not. Both subject and background in this image compliment each other because of the grubbiness of both.
The link to Kate Bush, a favourite artist of mine, well, she did refer to herself as the Rubberband Girl, on the Red Shoes album.
I'm currently printing miniature art 5x4 on brushed aluminium.
I can also print on fine art paper, generally A3 paper size, image size 10x8 and matte but depending on image my choose a paper that maybe is more suitable.

Martin Vallis is a professionnal photographer. His style evolved, resulting in tightly- cropped, close-up work, mostly utilising Tungsten lighting, to enhance texture and detail. Two decades later Martin departed from commercial photography, concentrating on his own vision.
Throughout his career, Martin’s style has changed, yet there remains the ever-constant preference for simplicity of solitary objects, reflecting texture and shape: less is more. Society may spend time looking for the ‘Big Picture’ whilst missing the ‘Beauty of Simplicity’. He feels it portrays a deeply felt sense of isolation, solitude and emptiness. The artist is eager to conclude he now understands those feelings are more to do with his condition over reality.
Martin Vallis has studied Visual Communication at Medway College of Art and Design from 1976-79, moving to London in 1980. After working as a Photographic Assistant to Commercial Photographer Gary Bryan for 3 years, he set up his own studio in Chelsea in 1983, that specialised in high-quality still life photography, in the areas of Advertising, Design and Editorial. Martin also shot stills on TV and Cinema commercials, primarily with directors Howard Guard and Ridley Scott (Alien/Blade Runner/Gladiator). Some of Martin’s clients included, British Airways, BMW, Volkswagen and Selfridges.
