Unfixing Shadows, 2022–

For a pdf of with more works and additional information, click here.

The paintings, if that's what they are, translate the fixed light of photographs into unstable images that shift in appearance depending on the light in which they are viewed: a positive when lit from above becomes a negative when lit from the side, whereas when lit from the front the image dissolves into a pale spectre.

Among other things, these works seek to unfix old shadows that have been captured through photography; or perhaps to dramatise that they were never fully fixed, never ultimately stable. Also, to reveal—if only for a fleeting moment—unexpected latencies within the images.

While the choice of images is not arbitrary, the ideas that inform the works and the links between them are not clearly defined. Rather, they offer an invitation to see connections and to narrate stories, stories that evolve from exhibition to exhibition. That said, certain themes thread through all the works presented here, entangling them also with the related series of clouds and hands.
