I was in London this week to see 'Continuum', my latest series of 6 cameraless photographs, launch at the Affordable Art Fair, Battersea. This work was made with the assistance of my new robotic device that help me to regulate the timings and movements of the masks in my exposures, much more to come from this collaboration! It is being shown at the Eyestorm Gallery booth alongside my 3 'Elements' works produced in 2016.
New work underway in the darkroom
Work is well underway on my new series. I am planning to create 6 new cameraless photographs, continuing my exploration of the hue continuum and prismatic colour. I spent the last three months of 2016 sketching, reading and making copious notes. By December it was time to put some chemistry in the tanks and let the alchemical wonder of the darkroom take over my life. After a painfully slow and difficult start, where my chemistry and stencils just wouldn't do what I wanted them to, and after several trips back to the drawing board to perfect my masks, my ideas are finally being realised, perseverance is key in my line of work!
