'Imaging' Series 2007
These works are illustrations for a cerebral space; those vague images we summon up when recollecting the past. This process of 'imaging' has been described by J.B. Watson as 'Talking to oneself beneath one's breath'. To me this is an unconscious stream of thought that manifests itself as language - always being connected to the visual, thus creating 'imaging'. We are forever processing information, but not always in a coherent or precise manner. What I am interested in is that thin line between fact and fiction - the subtle interplay between past and present - and I believe it is memory that facilitates the merging of the two. My practice involves the use of the photograph as object and is, therefore, interested in exploring the limits of surface, texture and visibility within the medium.
