Solstice: 4.June - 6.August 2005

I have been experimenting with and constructing pinhole cameras since about 1990. The early cameras were designed for a particular purpose and the photographs illustrated these ideas.The photgraphs were about vision, the brain, two eyes, memory and a few other things. In the last few years the camera and its construction have become the most interesting part of the process for me. I still make photographs and I am totally obsessed by photography, especially other peoples photographs. My most recent work has been made with a frisbee converted into a pinhole camera, it records the flight, the time of day, and sometimes a spiral pattern drawn by the sun. I enjoy controlling the design and construction of these cameras but relinquish control when the image is being made( the frisbee is thrown, and I pick it up when it lands). Therefore my images look random and haphazard, and uncaring.
The point is that photographs are just records of an event, of a thing that happened, I am trying to extend my/your perception through creating something that does not confirm or confine what can can be imagined.
