Untitled?

Mmm, the title of no title. I've always kind of poked fun at it a bit, but sometimes it can be the right thing to do. Not sure it would be the right thing to do with this image. But I have yet to discover where exactly this series is going, so it will remained untitled for now, but not 'Untitled' you see...

I've often dreamed up titles for works before they are created. In fact, I currently have a one particular project that I've been ruminating on for quite some time now, which has a kick ass title. But here, with this work, I feel as if I'm still working it out. With a lot of my work being quite abstract and yet deliberately suggestive of form or narrative, I often feel that my titles are clues. They function for me as breadcrumbs, to attempt to coax the viewer into a deeper interaction with the work.

My Trusty Boots Projector

 

                                              the zoom master 200

This is my trusty super 8 film projector, my knight in shining armour bought it for me when we were living in London. It came complete with a fantastic and invaluable instruction booklet, that I still need to consult most times it gets dragged out! There's something very special to me inherent in the qualities of images created through film. Something that I feel is lost in the digital capture.

When I print photos from negative, the printing process most often becomes more important than the image capture itself. Using my super 8 at home is my way of creating my very own home darkroom.
