CONCEALED AT FIRST AT LAST I APPEAR |
The large-scale, unique, silver gelatin skiagrams (Greek for "shadows written") that I make are a direct recording of the shadow patterns in a room at night. They are created without a camera or an aperture. The project is an exploration of how the inherent properties of darkroom paper capture and hold elements of a specific time, place, and moment. The work also is about confounding the expectations of the viewer – that photographs are “of” something recognizable. Ultimately, the skiagrams are a play between light and dark, tangible and abstract, a physical object and the ephemerality of a moment.
I am always looking for new opportunities to create and exhibit these works. |
