| About the Artist |
The approach to my practice is process based and involves the use of the photograph as object. My interests lie in exploring the limits of surface, texture and visibility within the medium: challenging the prevalence for the real within photography.
It is through the layering of materials and the techniques used when having shot the original image, that the viewer is left to decipher a somewhat ‘incomplete scene’. Objects and places have been abstracted from their surroundings so the images operate at the threshold of legibility.
By exploring such methods I hope to encourage the audience to slow down their process of reading the work, allowing for a different way of looking. Reactions to such imagery weave their way back into the unconscious mind, allowing the spectator to fill in the gaps: the viewer’s participation is ignited enabling one to comprehend the fuller picture.
