Ext. Day., 2025 scanned photomontage, inkjet print on Imperial Satin paper 84.1 x 59.4 cmAs a collector of images, there is always separation from the photographs I arrange. Distance becomes the thematic drive of the work – I find myself arranging scenes in which I am an uninvited spectator. Correlations hint at poetic narratives, but the material’s anonymity always leaves unanswered questions. Scanning extends the separation a level further. Ink dots and paper fibres reveal the corporeal life of mechanically reproduced images, which runs parallel to implied narratives of the whole.
