Artist Statement
This is a photograph produced without a camera. The image is made, not taken I mould and cast objects in resin, then expose them to light in the colour darkroom to create photograms. I then flatbed scan and digitally arrange components in the style of still life painting. Unlike still-life paintings produced from direct observation or projections, my works are many steps removed – interrogating rather than reproducing their source. Employing sculptural, analogue photographic and digital techniques these play with photographic mimesis. The final image is a recognisable, but ghostly apparition beyond the capacities of the simple camera lens.
