Angle Of Incidence, 2022
A constant rattle of fear emanates from our treasured screens flashing surrounding us. Stepping out into nature, leaving the torment behind, we can begin to question our perceptions of reality. Our reality ever-changing. We’ve lived through 2 years of internet censorship, lockdowns, violations on human rights and an acquiescence to science. We are bombarded with images and although the camera aims to captures reality, can the image it produces be trusted?
Using coloured acrylic blocks over the lens I began to create new landscapes. This journey became one of reflection both inwardly and externally, allowing for serendipitous images to appear. The physical blocks acting like mirrors, their reflections dominating and saturating the image with its colour.
Reflections allow for a fragment of reality out of view to be pushed into the forefront, overlapping like a double exposure. Although you can’t see behind you, you expect it to be there. Consciousness interacting with reality forces it to be present so the block becomes a vehicle for transmitting an image of the unseen. Folding reality onto reality with a physical object creates the distorted and ethereal, ultimately creating an unedited image of reality that doesn’t show the real.
