I've always wondered when soon is2022
Artist statement: We are running out of time. Bushfires, floods, drought… the increased frequency of these catastrophic events now terrifyingly real. Add a global pandemic and lockdowns and this is not a future I could ever have imagined.
I wonder how we will be able to adapt to rising water levels, to a changed climate, to a less inhabitable planet?
This series seeks to both highlight and provoke. Here the figure is hurtling towards an uncertain fate, much like Alice through the looking glass, as the world is turned on its head.
Our environment sits on the precipice of a tipping point. Now is the time to address destructive systems of consumption, to reimagine a new future.
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.
