Offshore Recordings

Memories in the form of texts are recorded on a typewriter that are then documented underwater using an 8 by 10 analogue camera to capture a dancing brigade of light & wave movement across the scene. 

The shards of light take on the control and semblance of charcoal on paper, rolling the texts over an offshore seascape that shifts into a cartographic recording to hold unchanging through time.

Presented here 'as shot' these colour negative film plates show flecks of colour darting through them, each print will be a unique B&W silver gelatine print; this intended intervention in the particular use of medium to remove any trace of colour, and, by making only one unique print, further enforcing the singular uniqueness of the final photograph.

These vintage release prints are all dated 2016, hand printed by the artist in his London darkroom.
