Falling Light
Pinhole photographs record an impression of a moment, a ghost of ‘what was’ in a seemingly permanent way. The falling light, air and movement of a space seems to be caught on the sensitive paper - recording an impression and feeling of a place rather than a photographic record of a space. The element of chance and numerous variables of light, paper and movement, create umbra shadows and soft gradations of tone, helping to communicate the delicate nature of my subject matter. The forms are in soft focus, caught in between states of emerging and vanishing - suggesting the passing of time, the impermanence of life and the nature of the Australian landscape.
The Falling Light series explores the physicality of digital and analogue photographic processes. This series has been informed by the painterly nature of Pictorialism and the way in which artists from this movement were able to evoke emotion and atmosphere through the practical processes of photography - the focus, aperture and darkroom processes were like the brushes, glazes and techniques of a painter.
