Inspired by the poetry of Basho Matsuo, I realised that this detachment from life allowed him to examine his world more clearly in the spirit of Sabi-Wabi.
To see the world from an opening in a bush or from under a tree is to imagine all the multiple possibilities that exist in front of our eyes, the world only becomes a small place because we look and no longer see.
I have been exploring the Prints of Ando Hiroshige and Hokusai, drawn to the alternative approach they offer to western composition ideals, I have been exploring the idea of combining negative space with positive space, in the series Space 2006, f the “Negative space” is left black instead of the traditional white, and forms an active part of the composition of the photograph.
This work at present is newly form, it’s too early to say whether it will be a series of photographs, Video or animation with sound, the only thing for certain after the first contact sheet I can’t wait till I get the next, the only problem is that it take so long to create pinhole photographs the way I see them inside my head, so I keep trying to get there until I’m having a wonderful time.
Just short on paper, film and time but apart from I get excited when I imagine how the photographs might turn out.
