Chasing Shadows

Chasing Shadows is a night journey - a peaceful sleepwalk through a silent world bereft of people. As the evening light transforms the everyday into a dreamlike state, familiar urban landscapes disappear underneath resilient vegetation. For this series I used long exposures on 35mm black and white film to record the contemplative stillness of the night, the only movement in the wind blowing through leaves. I hand printed the images with lith developer on old fibre based paper, to create single edition prints with a tactile quality and degraded aesthetic reminiscent of illustrative drawing or etching.
