I think Rian Dundon has an excellent vision. As art, it can never speak to everyone. The tilt is not a major part of it, and he seems to be consistently applying it to 'get what he wants in the four lines of the frame'. Sometimes there more to it than that. No-one walks around with a spirit level in front of their nose, yet we very rarely feel dizzy when looking at the world with a cocked head and cheeky wink, or when we shrug our shoulders and tilt our craniums. I find in Dundon's work invitation and presentation, expressive attitude, and a lot more besides. The Wild China project is awesome, and there are some great photographs in the Limerick set too, although it wants editing down a bit more. Peter Cheyne
