The Watcher

The Watcher

‘The Watcher’ is one of the ‘Still Thinking’ series of images captured during the CD launch for Melbourne Hip-Hop / Jazz-Funk Band ‘Still Thinking’, at Melbourne’s iconic Prince of Wales Hotel.

In creating this work, the camera evolves into an electronic sketch-pad, documenting light’s interaction with sound, its movement to music an essential component of the process.

My focus is upon exploring what cannot be seen, the space where light and sound become one, where light responds to sound, and sound to light. Conceived as ‘painted light’, each begins life as a photographic still, of light, captured at night in settings resonant with intense beat-driven sound-scapes.
Between lens and print, the inspiration for the finished work comes from the interaction between light and its physical surroundings. The emergent compositions reflect journeys into a plethora of disparate visual environments … above and below the oceans, from the microscopic to the panoramic, through history’s bricks and mortar, and back again, to the frenetic point where light and sound merge in a cacophony of beats and bodies.
