Looking towards, blocking a red sun2013
Artist statement: This series reflects on time remembered, what once was, by looking at what is. Looking at my own kind and resurfacing memories, I try to conjecture what will be.
It is nostalgia that has no perceptible separation from time that is to be, by looking in the present at my own children in a state of becoming.
Chromogenic prints are printed on paper that has at least three emulsion layers containing invisible dyes and silver salts. Each emulsion layer is sensitive to a different primary colour of light (red, green or blue). The development process converts the hidden dyes to visible colour depending on the amount of light it was exposed to. This type of paper is commonly used to print from colour negatives or digital files to produce a full-colour image. It can also be used to print black-and-white images, giving softer grain and less contrast than gelatin silver prints. Commonly known as c-type prints, chromogenic processing was developed in the 1940s and widely used for colour printing, including for domestic snapshots. While recent years have seen this process accompanied by ink-jet and digital printing technologies, chromogenic printing still remains in use to this day.
