Untitled

These three images are part of a series of six (please note that the works I have posted thus far, are part of the abridged version of my portfolio. More are to follow). This was the start of a corpus of works that earned my distinction as my final results for the completion of my Fine Arts degree in photography.

I like to term this creative process the 'sun exposure' process. It was a process that was discovered through mere experimentation. The result of the sun exposure process was a pinkish brown mergence of colour (as you can see). This was accomplished by the transferal of sunlight through negative to paper.

The blurriness and illucidation of the pinkish brown coloured background is representational of an unclear past, or history. The black sillhouette portrays the absense of being, as well as more personally, a particular being, a being that has now become estranged in my life as I know it, as time has past. The combination of emotions that is portrayed by the stark sillhouette against the blurred backgroud, plays on the binary opposites of clarity and confusion, as well as a kind of ignorance and indirect knowledge (i.e. of one's history).
