My
work portrays a dislocated and pensive view of space, environment
and landscape. I use both traditional and digital methods of photography
as well as sculptural methods to portray and capture a landscape
in motion and in flux. The imagery and installation works narrate
the anxieties of our interpretation of landscape and beauty by
portraying a disintegrating landscape where familiarity and nostalgia interpret the concept of instability.
Some words about the
series, the Chronology of Notable Histories of Magical Miniature
Landscapes.......
I'm thinking about architecture, space, non-space in the aesthetical
sense. I'm
thinking about photography but less. I want to build. I
want to understand the need to construct,
to stick our grubby little human hands into something, everything. "In
the Gloaming" style (see installation
work "Photograph in Three Dimensions, 2003) interpretations
of my photographs of
non-places in the anthropological sense; in a west meets
east, wabi-sabi kind of way. Non-defined places
that are captures, light captures, space captures, small sights,
opinions or
less; layers of existence, movement and unrequited commitments; passing,
moving, visions of nothingness.
The images and constructions are dream-states. The sublime
is uncomplicated yet strangely uncomfortable; the land of
magical mysterious places. Each millimeter
has a history, a place in time, but when randomly combined with each
other they begin a new history. They blur,
they build, layer and deconstruct. They are waves, undulations that
represent
life,
desire
and lust. But
lust for what? It's like parachuting in - open, free to a
floating environment intrinsically linked to its own history and
ultimately our ghosts.
