photography & PHOTO RELATED WORK
Edition of 10
Light is…
No moment, no memory is recollected in the same way. My photo-based work explores the ways in which image and process are vehicles for remembrance. Light is at the heart of this intersection.
It is the principle and vital vehicle of the conveyance of image and time.
When working digitally, I embrace the possibility and potential of immediacy. When working in the darkroom or with cyanotype process, I hand coat my paper, resulting in singular prints, further expressing and emphasizing this notion that a photograph is a literal documentation of capturing a moment of light, specific, which cannot be replicated.
The robust physicality of this work is intentioned––the irregularity of the page, the brush marks and the uneven layers of emulsion are painterly and gestural. I embrace the unruliness of photographic process and experiment with it by pushing its potential within the confines of the medium. This, in cooperation and combination with image, creates a unique visual dimensionality, in which the evanescence of light is captured to reference time and memory as it might appear, or be experienced, in the mind’s eye.
In harnessing the light, image and moment become signifiers for memory: mementos of time.
