At it's simplest, the exhibition could be described as a day spent at a pond, and the traces it has left in my working process.
In the exhibition photography becomes and act bound to the passage of time and materiality. The photographs record both the environment that served as the subject of the image and its own process of decomposition. The works dismantle photography's association with permanence and objectivity, instead proposing a perspective in which photographs are part of the material world and are formed according to the conditions of that materiality.
The aestheticized worlds of the works are the result of physical transformations arising from the entanglement of the surrounding landscape, the artist's labor, and the tools and techniques of that labor.
