The work titled Photo Objects is a generative iteration of the subversive engagements of my Artifacts works and it constitutes a rethinking on the nature of photography. In this work I print my digital scans onto large-scale transparency film and then each piece of film is further enhanced with mirror paint, and is then layered, bent, folded, hung, curled, twisted, taped and glued to make them sculptural.
What began as an investigation into material and chance operation has now become, for me, a series of photographic objects that document my performative experiences with the materials; that operate as artifacts of analogue photographic processes; and blur the lines between sculpture and photography – challenging what the medium can be.
