Tina

My life has been shaped by a dislocated social biography. My background as an adopted child has inspired a relentless enquiry into a sense of place with a camera. My style has been shaped from this foundation and continues as a fervent inquest into the frames of reference that we all view society.

This sequence is from a collaboration with Tina, a lorry driver from Basildon, Essex. Using the aesthetic of the Edweard Muybridge record of locomotion as inspiration, I objectify the subject as experiment and in this process reject the romantic expressionism of contemporary fine art photographic practice as a political and aesthetic infection masking the reality truth of the human condition. The series is a further discussion of the very nature of contemporary photographic practice; the artist relationship to subject, space and time.
