The advent of the digital camera and the creation of the Internet have generated an over-saturation of objective, representational imagery – images that depict objects, people or places – readily available to anyone. My work re-frames the chemical origins of photography by returning to the darkroom, exploring the fundamental properties of photography, Abstraction and using camera-less processes.
