The photographs in this portfolio, deriving from different printing methods, might collectively conjure E.O Wilson’s notion of the Eremocene, the ‘age of loneliness’, the bleak future into which we appear to be accelerating, characterized by existential and material isolation (conditions brought home all-too presently at this time). The images could equally be suggestive of the kinds of rhythms and cadences which might have some potential in counteracting this overloaded, over-stimulated, contemporary moment. Or they simply communicate whatever they have to communicate, as subjects of attention, silent tokens of an original attention that was paid, somewhere else, at some previous point in time.
