TALKBACK

ARTIST STATEMENT installation: light on plastic This installation is the result of testing the mediality of lightweight tablecloth plastic under different states of light. The surface of the plastic is semi-translucent and subject to tiny changes in air pressure, so the object was to examine these aspects by using a live camera feed to project … Continue reading SHADOWDANCER: PROCESS JOURNAL

Taking this work in the next level involves introducing a bodily aspect, including shadows and projected/ mediated video. Working with a live video feed of the subject taken from behind the screen and then rebroadcast back onto the surface of the plastic give some interesting distortions. I have also continued to experiment with the photography … Continue reading PRACTICE: 5 – PORTRAITURE AND THE SUBJECT AS PERFORMER

This essay will document my recent experimentation with white plastic sheeting undertaken in the studio each week and focus this research into a more tangible project outcome. It will also link my practice to theoretical research incorporating Butoh performance theory and the Bakhtinian notion of dialogism (areas I have been investigating in other subjects), with … Continue reading PRACTICE: 4

Today I took the same approach as previous iterations of this research, except notably the plastic has been folded and creased over two weeks of storage (whereas previously it comes directly off a long roll and appears much more smooth) – casting the lamp from an angle gives a remarkable array of shadows and contours … Continue reading PRACTICE: light painting 2
