Notations – “A brief record as an aid to the memory”

When I photograph something I don’t just photograph what it appears to be but also what it could be and I believe there is more to everything.

Working with an assortment of film and digital cameras that were junkshop bought, borrowed or gifts from friends and relatives I produce images that are both recognisable and abstract. Sometimes the images are a result of a particular “quirk” in the camera or a multi-exposure. I rarely focus or even look through the viewfinder. I don’t look at the original images for many months and then find it easier to disassociate them from what I actually saw at the time.

I attempt to make the images an emotional response to a specific place.

Images are originated using analogue process and digital capture. Prints are made using an ink-jet process on archival paper. Each print is 250mm x 250mm (actual image size) signed and numbered and annotated on the reverse. Images are intended to be shown as final print including white border 500mm x 500mm. Works are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Images are produced to exhibition sizes – although prints may be produced to site-specific sizes.

“Notations” Edition limited to 10.
