Reflectance
Humankind lingers unregenerately
in Plato’s cave,
A fine suspension of
Insoluble light-sensitive
In aqueous solution to enter the colloid without dislodging the crystals
Still revelling
The silver halide is actually
Being 'peptized' by the gelatin
Emulsion making
Its age-old habit
Incorporates steps to increase sensitivity by
Incontrovertible proof
Using chemical
Sensitizing agents and sensitizing dyes
In mere images of the truth.
My work is primarily concerned with dialogue or dualism. Interactions between form and content, text and image, viewer and object. Other key concerns are the visibility or sculptural possibilities for the projection apparatus, celluloid materiality, truth to materials and display systems regarding the projected image.
These concerns often manifest themselves as 35mm slide projections, sequenced circular stories containing found imagery or text, hand-made text slides or iterations of my conceptually-driven photographic practice. There is a constant trail of the personification of the projector running through many of my recent works. They often reference their own form, acknowledging their positions as projected image artworks and as a medium edging towards obsolescence, questioning our relationship to technology and how we attribute trust, meaning or value onto an object, image or text.
