WATERGRAMS
My current series of Watergrams, created in the darkroom capturing light and moving water on silver gelatin, draws on memory and perception to construct images that evoke a fleeting sense of time and place. I think memory, like water, can never be static. It shifts, flows, evaporates, returns. To me, there is something poetic about that thought that hopefully resonates with my images. I am not trying to fix a memory in place like a traditional photograph might. Instead, I’m chasing the feeling of remembering - the way memory behaves more like water than stone : slipping away, returning, changing shape depending on the light or tides. My watergrams are not literal images, they are sensory impressions, like the way a childhood creek might shimmer at the edge of consciousness.
