I’ve been experimenting with using various liquids as a means of creating spontaneous gestures within my work. These purposeful, distorted portraits are a challenge to myself on what a photograph can be. The refracted and reflected light playing off the peaks and troughs of the moving liquid project a familiar image of reflection. Yet during this suspension of movement, the liquid reveals a distorted & often grotesque image of the sitter. The way in which the image appears is also reminiscent of agitating a developer tray and revealing a black & white darkroom print.
