The project “captures what I originally intentioned by having almost no detail, sitting right on the edge of total abstraction yet still being recognisable as belonging to the series,” says photographer Murray Fredericks.

The concentration of colour and space in the project called SALT has observers comparing Murray’s work to that of JMW Turner’s landscape paintings.
