It’s
like going into the sea and letting the waves break over you.
You feel the power of the sea.
On the street each successive wave brings a whole new
cast of characters.
You take wave after wave, you bathe in it.
There is something exciting about being in the crowd,
in all that chance and change – it’s tough out there –
but if you can keep paying attention something will reveal
itself – just a split second – and then there’s a crazy
cock-eyed picture.
The
social studies I produce are lens based, taking images from
amongst cityscapes.
I use multiple intersections of architecture, traces of
human interaction, traffic, street furniture, text, repeating
forms and any components within the city to construct my
images and extract the rhythm of the scene, allowing the
viewer to engage with and expose the geographies we inhabit
within contemporary existence and feature the frantic
turbulance of city life.
The
images are visually powerful photographic realities, where
gravity is not always visible and architecture can appear
impossible, building a new space which has become submerged in
everyday presence.
