About Sketches from Memory

Sketches from Memory (2004-2008)

Relationships between what is in front of a camera and what ends up as a picture are never as direct or simple as they seem. A picture always shows both more and less than what was there. And an image is always a record of the means through which it is made.

These pictures are quirky and rough. I clicked the shutter of a plastic camera several times for each picture, the number of clicks roughly gauged according to the available light. Blur and overlap were both unavoidable and intentional. I could only guess how what I saw before me would be transformed. Picture making in this way is therefore more overtly than usual a matter of conjecture and imagination, and the result was always a surprise.
