How long is a moment in time? How can you document that moment? Is now actually a moment in time?
Fleeting moments can become recurrent in life’s pattern. By moving through and descending time, does the journey change us, do we learn from it and therefore adapt, or do we just repeat and therefore emulate it?
To document something is to make an account of it. This could be captured as it happens, gathering evidence of all parts of the episode in a particular type of format; or by collecting and piecing together the fragmented remnants of the event after time has passed, furnishing the searcher with the proof of an occasion.
Everything leaves a trace, a memory of its existence. Sometimes this is a psychical presence at other times it is an account told by someone or something. This account may change over time as memory is lost or opinions are altered.
The illustration of this documentation serves as a reminder to its spectator. Allowing the documenter, to impart chosen information, about the moment captured, often, deliberately or not, altering the perception for the viewer.
Reviewing my surroundings both physical and as a state of mind has been a re-occurring theme for me. We effect the environment we inhabit and in turn it effects us.
The things you do are a side effect of what you think you’re doing.
Drawing attention to the act of looking these moving and static photographs examine voyeurism of self image. These works are singular but are part of a group shown together. Normally art is a fixed object with edges, the frame stops and the world starts. The space my work uses is already art, the work I put in this environment develops that same space.
Intense colour is part of the appeal of these pieces with the use of exaggeration and intensity enabling the photographs to extend off the flat surface into the viewing area.
