Floating, the work is immersive and boundless, pulling the viewer into its physical space. The cool glow of the cyan imbues a slowly shifting cloud of elastic shapes, whose nature oscillates between biological and metaphysical, evoking a world both within and outside of us.
Working
from a camera-less, unstable negative the initial image is
created in
a darkroom. The resulting analog print is scanned and
enlarged to
produce an archival pigment print.
Lensless photography takes
advantage of the tension between representation and
abstraction. The
meditative nature of this work, its sense of mystery and
wonder,
expand the viewer's experience. The series starts with a
fetus, a
conception, expanding outward to resonate beyond my consciousness.
