Works are formed as a catalogue of on-going research, using a framework of personal experience to investigate the repercussions of absent documentation, questioning the reliability of the image in the construction and preservation of memory, via the mechanism of photography. I came to this research through an educational route, informed by personal and professional experience.
Using a process-driven method of research, I am attempting to better understand how the absence of documented experience affects memory and subsequently identity. The processes used include; destructive or enhancing techniques onto the surface of the photograph using chemicals, time-based corruption and photo-editing software, forming and documenting site specific experiences; contrasting new photographic documents with past occurrences and historical imagery to investigate the reliability of memory constructions, and continuing to accumulate digital and analogue photographic material as part of a personal archive.
