Colloquium and Exhibition, the workIn my work I often use images of human form combined with digital manipulation to give a sense of nostalgia to photographic images with the body used as a subject matter. In my recent work, the body pictured is my own although the intent of the work is not personal. The repeated image allows for paradoxes all of which relate to notions of fantastical realities. Reflected in today’s “click and drag” society, physical contact as the expression of an emotional state of mind, is something which is diminishing. The images have their own qualities depending on how they are interpreted. I have used digitally manipulated sections of ‘spilt light’
from a photographic film with the intention of giving an impression
of corrosion to the image, an appearance of fantastical light –
something ethereal and not physically malleable – something that
can only exist in a photograph but appears to have a physical presence. |
