Over a recent conversation thinking about images I have looked at, and made over the past year, a friend pointed out that I am seemingly exploring the "potential of an image". I am continuing to expand on a series of images presented as lightboxes, each exploring ideas of stasis as a visual rhythm akin to the state between one’s wakefulness and sleep. The images are formed through the repetition of a single photograph rearranged lengthwise or clockwise and references colours observed from daybreak through nightfall. Late last year, I also used the scanner as an artistic tool and looked at how that could add to my practice. I have been curious about other forms these images could take such as squares, apart from the column-like shapes shown at I_S_L_A_N_D_S and starch.
