These images were made using a bellows camera containing a modified digital scanner in place of a photographic plate.
Born digital, the works are materialised as glossy sublimation prints on reflective aluminium grounds. Depending on the light in which they are viewed their appearance can vary greatly; the image is both fixed and elusive, emulating qualities of early photographic processes such as the daguerreotype.
The images chronicle the changing conditions during which they were formed: the waxing and waning of the day at sunrise and sunset; the passage of clouds across the sun; the rise and fall of the wind. The slow accumulation of the image on the camera’s ground-glass back recalls longer histories embedded within the land—the record of sunlight written into the trees over centuries; the trace of time inscribed into the rock by wind and water and glaciers over millions of years.
