Abstract

This is an examination of the underlying concepts and the formal characteristics of my photographic work. In my work, the repetition of formal elements, the visual meanings which emerge from the sequential interplay of the images, and my interest in visual problems related to depth and surface, are combined with a diaristic and existential viewpoint in the use of the camera and with an interest in photographing American material culture. My work is in the tradition of Robert Frank and uses insights from my study of Ralph Gibson's use of sequencing. I see my work in relation to poetry and its structural devices and in relation to experimental cinema and film theory. The work is presented in the form of a sequence of images, the ordering of which is significative, which stresses relationships between individual images and to the group as a whole.
