This work is both a break and a continuation of an exploration into personal story-telling and interpretations. A progressive, yet ambiguous multiple-media form, it is at times deliberately naive and often has a surreal, stream of conscious quality. I am using a time based medium as a tool for introducing the non-linear as a fantasy guide; atomised fragments collide to invoke the mythology of a poet, the lens of the photographer and the camera of the director.
They are psychologically and socially constrained, a marginalized present infused with an unsettled past composed of new worlds which speak of cultural myth and invented narratives. It takes as a starting point strange and remote qualities: unforgiving, romantic and sublime mixed with pastoral traditions in the context of an urban consumerist culture. The synergy of abstract and physical spaces reflect the tension between representation, perception and desire.
The process of assembling each work pushed me to consider the gamut of photographic possibility and to reflect on my own relationship to the photographic image. While sparse and suggestive they are intended to be seen in relation to each other, a sometimes innovative process with all of the unexpected twists.
