Article abstract

Artists engage in the production of their work through a number of strategies. This written reflection investigates the methodologies of my practice as an artist, focusing on the development of an individual work, a single photograph. It explores a discussion of three fundamental elements of the photographic image: time, space and light. Reference is made to the critical writing of Marc Augé. Literary and visual influences are explored in the effort to locate the intentions for the work. The work's material form takes its cue from the underlying conceptual aspiration. This work was made in collaboration with the Visual Intelligences Research Project at The Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts, Lancaster University and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. It was published as part of the exhibition Inspiration to Order first shown at California State University Stanislas' Gallery in October 2006.
