The Dissolving Landscape

I have recently returned from spending three weeks in Svalbard, participating in The Arctic Circle Residency, shooting altered film for my project The Dissolving Landscape. The film has been soaked in various acidic solutions to degrade it, speaking to the impending effects of global warming, as well as the changing medium of photography. I still have a lot more film to go through, but here is a preliminary selection.

Film Soaking Tests

I have been working hard experimenting with film soaking techniques for my upcoming residency in the Arctic this fall. Here are some of my latest results:

Dubious Cosmology is a proposition that the world is overflowing with mystery. It is a series of photographs and sculptures that celebrate the uncanny and the sublime. It is a collection of bizarre renditions of other universes. It is an exploration of fringe beliefs and why they are important. It is an inquiry into photography, the land and sky, UFOs and science fiction. It is a quest to show that there is a relationship between landscape and mystery, and why that relationship is of value to us. If we look at our surroundings – our landscapes – closely, it becomes undeniable that everything is extraordinary, inexplicable, wonderful, and that there is so much more to be uncovered.
