Artist Statement

For the independent project  i have used photos i have taken at various music gigs as the main source material. i have tried to portray the 'experience' and 'sensations' you feel when watching bands perform live. i have tried to describe not only the sensation of music, but the whole atmosphere we become part of in these situations. Capturing elements like motion, vibration, memory, time, sound in a type of narrative. i have tried to portray these things using dramatic contrast of colour and shade and varying degrees of clarity. Some images may be brief moments in time captured in a split second, others represent endlessness (being lost in time/ no sense of time or place).  

i have used several images pieced together to make up one finished piece, like our memory....... we remember pieces/fragments of moments that seem to make up the whole experience......
