WHY ANALOGUE?
- THE PHYSICALITY OF FILM - A tangible medium which can be felt, touched, worked and preserved, and representing a half way point between light producing a negative and realisation of a positive image
- THE MEDITATION OF THE DARKROOM - There is a meditative rhythm in world under red light, with light through the negative affecting the polarity of photographic paper, which slowly reveals the positive image through wet chemistry
- SERENDIPITY - The unforeseen element of chance and surprise when the image or image making is bent in magical ways
- WORKS ON PAPER - While most digital images are usually kept and viewed via digital file, a silver gelatin photograph incorporates an image rendered in black metallic silver within a physical archival work on paper
- CYCLES OF CREATIVITY - Film is making a steady resurgence, perhaps like a mobius strip where you have to complete 2 full cycles to arrive at the starting point
