As the photographs gently fade in and out they converge into the same everchanging image; occasionally unsure entirely which elements are drawn from which shot.

The mindfulness of the gradual movement is almost meditative, as the painterly colours and shapes overlap to produce a result reminiscent of traditional double exposures and film transitions.

However, the experimental images focus less on conventional representation and instead exemplify the nature of the materials and a subtle sense of the moment they were taken.

Analogue photography creates certain atmospheres which cannot quite be archived by digital means. It innately encapsulates aspects of unpredictably, long-process, likely failure, experimentation, and not being able to see the outcomes immediately.
