SECOND SKIN : SECOND SIGHT
A slightly obsessive world
These pictures explore shape and surface, time and function. Many of the subjects are captured after their usefulness has gone; caught before decay sets in, but still they seem to possess an electric presence.
You might half-see figures, faces, familiar signs. But these are simple studies of the ordinary – left-overs encountered by chance then taken to the studio for recording, just to share the observation.
The starting point, one of those ‘made you look’ moments, came from my slightly obsessive approach to peeling an orange, that is, get the skin off in one go, leaving a singular husk of evidence that the fruit it once contained – now consumed, of course – had ever existed.
What has since developed is my selective emotional response to such things we take for granted then chuck away. There is such surprise in the mundane.
I use digital tools and techniques to make these pictures. The images are made with an eye on the super-real: the aim to intensify what’s already there and, I hope, to entertain.
