Chronographic Tracings:

 

Linear storytelling has limits. This is an attempt to subvert the sequential narrative and find the potential for an abstract graphic narrative. Various walks from the life of William Blake were recreated, and the view at set intervals captured. Overlaid, the product is a single image whose variations register a chronographic abstraction of each route, as exists today.

 

In urban environments, with so many stimuli competing for your attention, people often ignore dramatic events happening around them. This chronographic tracing analyzes and recomposes the passage of an ambulance, and the lack of reaction from bystanders. These were the first in a series of explorations working with the idea that previously unexpected information or even meaning may emerge when images of sequential events are analyzed as simultaneous, by working with them on the same canvas.

Mysterious Object Ceremony:

 

With Catherine Bell’s work on ritual in mind, the Mysterious Objects were the starting point for an improvisation set against the London Skyline. The intent was to test if there was “meaning” immanent within the objects and the interaction with them which would emerge from the performance of a ritual with relics but no pre-set rites.

 

Analyzing these images based on their geometric and dynamic characteristics, formal qualities of the performance and techniques for the aestheticized re-examination of images previously considered only “evidence” was found. The “privileged ritual experience” impressed upon the agent a method suitable for “deploy(ment)... beyond the circumference of the rite itself.” (Bell. Ritual Theory, Ritual Practice. p.116)
