Founds Objects

This is one object that

I will be combing with

photographs to make

a piece of work about

Leybourne Grange

Leybourne Grange

These two images are apart of a series of photographs that I will be combining with found objects to create a piece of work about Leybourne grange, rather than looking into the places history and use I wish to look at it in relation to my interests around decay, humanity and nature.

Abandoned House

This photograph was Taken in lower Rainham of an old Abandoned house in an orchard.
It was taken at 9:30 in the evening for 30 seconds at f9, a torch was used to paint the house with light making it visible in the photograph. Unfortunately a high ISO was used to allow for a smaller aperture this has resulted in the photo being somewhat grainy apart from this however I feel this is still an interesting photograph.

The Saw Mill

This image is the beginnings of a piece of work for an abandoned saw mill in Hastings. when complete there will be four photos one in each slot.

The frame that the photos are set in was taken from the Saw mill and the photos are of it, This piece aims to create an object that conveys the on going aesthetic within my work and also hints to the themes that interest me.

The foot print of man on the land:

"my touch is the most recent layer of many layers that are embedded in the landscape which in turn will be covered by future layers - hidden but always present" Andy Goldsworthy

Looking at this through the lens of humanity, it could be said that he current global civilisation will eventually become another layer like every previous civilisation that has graced the earth.We are fuelling the inevitability of time, the decay and waste of our living is easily found, The transition from one layer to another is all around us. Using photography I look to find such transition in the land, not simply to record such moments in an effort to stop them, but in hope that the collapse will happen, for through the collapse we will learn the lessons that need to be learned.
