Blood & Energy, Orb Series
2007 |
','Image'))
|
| Cameraless C-type Photograph digitally enlarged on fine art archival paper, from the “Orb Series”, which realizes the concept of transformation of matter and energy at will. Carefully considered use of light and shadow, colour and form turn an object into a new and altogether different entity, with the purpose of connecting the viewer on an aesthetic level. The orbs in this series represent Man’s ability to create and control energy, and to move matter in space by his determination. No camera is used, only light, objects, and photosensitive paper. |

| This is the first photograph I created in my “Orb Series”, which realizes the concept of transformation of matter and energy at will. Carefully considered use of light and shadow, colour and form turn an object into a new and altogether different entity, with the purpose of connecting the viewer on an aesthetic level. The orbs in this series represent Man’s ability to create and control energy, and to move matter in space by his determination. No camera is used, only light, objects, and photosensitive paper. |

PLAY
2007 |
','Image'))
|
| Inspired by the inherited collection of my Grandmother's scarves and costume jewelry, "Play" is the culmination of a body of work in which I set out to emulate through emotive colours and shapes, my Grandmother's energy and spirit and the "game" she "played" in life.
Although the colours are bright and cheery conveying the fun and warm aspects of her personality, there is a deliberate reposeful quality, almost snapshot-like, which conveys her collected and gentle nature as a person.
In a broader context, it reflects the game Man is playing on this planet and the philosophy that Man is a spirit who enters the material world with the purpose of playing a game. In this case the game my Grandmother played was wife, mother and homemaker. Her life's work was family. In "Play" the two main orbs are my Grandmother and Grandfather and the smaller ones are their children.
Using photosensitve paper and the light in the darkroom, with found objects, no camera or negative were used. Following the tradition of Concrete Photography, only the photographic process itself was used to create a new reality, through thought and experimentation, the resultant photograph an object in its own right to be celebrated. |
