Making photographs through a pinhole requires a different
engagement with time and light and I am happier working
in this slower world, where moving things can vanish or appear
as a trace in the deeper space of the pinhole photograph. The
scene becomes depicted through a sustained gaze, at odds with the
millisecond snapshot, rather more in tune with the original explanation
of photography, which is literally 'to write with light'. Many images arise through serendipity and call the veracity of the photographic document into question. Whether landscapes, still lives or portraits, the work resides ambiguously between the experience of painting and photography and invites the viewer to slow down and move towards a state of poetic reverie and contemplation. |
