​

REGISTER is a photographic project consisting of a series of large-scale photograms which explore the materiality of analogue photography and its relation to notions of visual and bodily perception. Each photogram is a unique, handmade photographic print painstakingly composed by the artist. The photograms are constructed by overlaying various matrices placed directly onto photosensitive paper and then exposed to light so that a direct, indexical trace of the object is imprinted onto the photo paper. The fusion of these matrices creates misalignments, or moirés - unwanted residue of photomechanical and print imagery, when banding misregisters. Each print's unique abstract and random composition stresses the indexical nature of analogue photographic materials and processes. I

 

REGISTER is part of the LUX PROJECT, a series of ‘cameraless photographic’ explorations that challenge the veracity of the photographic image.
