| About the Artist |
I am interested in the ‘photograph-ness’ of a photograph — the light that made the picture possible, the relationship of the image to the physical object, the signs in an image—like motion blur – that make it peculiarly a photograph.

And then, gone 3
2006 Photograph |
|
Sealed inside a dark car, we see the blurred flashes of the distant world outside, lit up for a moment by the headlights and then lost.
Taken while driving, these painterly, almost abstract, photographs no longer seem to be of real places. Instead, they are a reflection of that hazy, half-consciousness of someone caught in their own inner world.

Slip Horse
2005 Photograph |
|
We might ask how a photograph was made, or we might ask why it was made. And when we have one answer—or both—something still slips away unexplained. The camera wants to pin down the unexplained; wants to make light, movement, accident and intention simple parts of an equation.
But something is always waiting outside the frame, lurking in the back of our minds. Something slips out of place in these photographs—and though I am the one standing there with a camera and a torch, it slips past me too.

Constructed
2004 Photograph |
|
Constructed to the point of reality. |
On-Off Trees
2005 Photograph |
|
Here, light spills, flares and reflects back on itself, becoming the subject of the photograph as well as the means by which the images are made.
This series of photographs describes the unintended effect of artificial light – the accidental objects caught in its path.
