I’ve been returning to a set of analogue colour photographs from the 1990s. I held onto them, moved them from place to place, without fully knowing why. Back then, in the darkroom, I worked in small shifts…slight changes in time, density, colour. Making versions that were almost the same. Circling something. Making so so many photographs. Trying to figure out how to be a photographer.

Unfinished projects, uncertain images. Fragments.

This work is part of the project, Body Fossils, a regular shared-studio-practice-at-a-distance, over at STUDIES FOR. As a small group of international artists that meet up regularly (because it feels really good to work alongside one another), this year we chose the theme of Body Fossils to focus on deep time, interbeing, and impermanence.
