Passing Through:

For some time my photographic work has been concerned with change, notably documenting areas of urban regeneration where communities have had change forced upon them in the form of vast restructuring and consequential loss of family homes.

In this series I have continued to deal with such shifting environments but this time on a more personal level. This work is concerned with issues of impermanency and instability, reacting to my own changing condition and circumstance I have captured moments of stoppage in locations that I have spent time in but have tentative connections to.

Some of the photographs in this body of work use the ephemeral qualities of daylight to dictate the freezing of moments, these often had little time for consideration before capture as the fleeting light quickly moves elsewhere. Others, produced at night, utilise the stillness of available light to produce images that allow the subject matter to be considered in part, but maintain an element of uncertainty through the inclusion of areas of darkness. This relationship between light and dark takes influence from chiaroscuro in Baroque art as well as modern cinema.
