Claire-Louise Barker
The following images depict my continuing exploration and realisation of the complexities of familial relationships. Focusing on the concealment and revelation of gazes, altering perspectives and the photographers ability to represent an identity separate to the one implied through familiarity. My work explores the restraints of the familial, identity and it's erasure through process and narrative- creating imagery that attempts to elude and displace the viewer, generating concurrent feelings of distance and connection. Through involving myself within the frame and exploring the idea of illusions, I aim to create transitional dialogues between documentation and eventual image. Utilizing the camera as a transitional tool and objective device, an analytical and theoretical distance is created, allowing me to gain impartiality and highlight my own perspectives concerning identity.
