Graduate proposal opening lines.
I define myself as a photomedia1 artist; employing media and processes defined primarily by their use of light, as opposed to the exclusive use of the photographic apparatus. 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 body of work in which individual artworks enter into a dialogue with each other creating new meanings and associations in the mind of 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.
