Graduate proposal opening lines.
I define myself as a photomedia¹ artist; employing media and processes that give form to light. Guided by my fascination with the physical properties and ethereal qualities of light I explore concepts of journey, place and ecologies of time. I propose to make an exhibition of large scale (or mixed scale) photographic prints accompanied by a moving image and/or immersive installation component creating a unified work in which individual pieces enter into a dialogue with each other creating the potential for new meanings and contemplations in the viewer.

1. I refer to Jai McKenzie’s definition of photomedia as described in her book Light and Photomedia: “The photographic devices that fall under the term photomedia are as broad as the etymological scope of the words photographic and media. Essentially I consider all devices that use light and media as photomedia including photography, cinema, video, television, mobile phones, computers and photocopiers” (McKenzie, 2014, p.1). By this definition the camera obscura and cyanotype also fall under the umbrella of photomedia.

For next week (show and tell): —

Make a gesture for project proposal.

— Moving image water pieces on my ipad.

— Bring a print or prints

– Make a rotating base.
