Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real.
Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses
I work with analogue photographic techniques often using broken cameras, out-of-date film and old photographic paper. My practice explores the tension between chance and control, construction and destruction, signal and noise, and, ultimately, life and death. I embrace accidents and imperfections within the process, seeing them as reminders of our shared vulnerability and the fragile nature of existence.
For me, the click of the camera marks the beginning of the process. Often that initial image is just an inkling of an idea, a feeling that it may be interesting. This then needs further work to tease out, to chip away at, until I can get to the essence of what it is. This process is a time of experimentation and of trying to find the correct expression of that initial idea. I may have many versions, before choosing the image that best satisfies this.
