Artist statement: Paper, stone and permutations offers a spatial and temporal narrative across a set of material investigations generated through a process of ‘gleaning’ landscapes and forms which explore traces, inscriptions and erosions pertaining to measuring time via the medium of photography. As a way of thinking about our experience as it is bound to memory and conflated by the passing of time and the span of geographic separation, these are intended to appear that they are of a certain place, pertaining to something specific and significant – yet the entire premise of their production is to remind us that the very thing we seek to locate and recall is always out of reach.

Also known as Giclee prints or bubble-jet prints, pigment ink-jet prints are generated by computer printers from digital or scanned files using dye-based or pigment-based inks. A series of nozzles spray tiny droplets of ink onto the paper surface in a precise pattern that corresponds to the digital image file. In dye-based prints the ink soaks into the paper, whereas in pigment-based prints the ink rests and dries on top of the paper surface.
Whilst the term is broad, pigment ink-jet prints have come to be associated with prints produced on fine art papers. They are the most versatile and archival method of printing available to photographers today. A wide variety of material on which an image can be printed with such inks are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolour paper, cotton canvas or pre-coated canvas.
