12 Months on the Sea Wall

Working both on the street and in the studio my interest is to extend the expressive range of digital image making. Much of my work seeks to capture the human experience, not by capturing a single instant, but by capturing the world as we experience it - in a continuous stream of images. In the work presented here I have made use of multiple exposures assembled in a panoramic format, to condense an event or experience into a single image. This work is an attempt to create an image based on how we see and experience the world. My goal is to create an image, not a series of images, that captures an event in a more complete way than a single photograph can. I am not interested in capturing the decisive moment, but in recording the flow of events that make up our daily lives. These images are, in effect single, frame movies or storyboards condensed into a single box. To view these images is to playback a memory, to experience the event as if you were there, presented with different points of view to process and explore. My interest is not in showing what something looks like, but in trying to convey the feeling or energy of what it was like to be there.
