Finlay Carmichael
My work has evolved quite rapidly from a divisive form of documentary, to a much more fluid process of image making. This stemmed from both my own frustration with photographic traditions, and a need to go beyond the photographic image; thus, I have adopted a more story based approach, where my images need not tell the viewer something but only suggest it - the empty spaces in between images becoming even more important than the objects themselves. This piece of work, 'Paradise', marks this turning point: it is a loose ethnographic study into my grandfather's history, touching upon themes such as his ongoing isolation within an alien culture, and a longing for the past, and for ones homeland.
