Lost is a new project influenced by Whistler’s Nocturnes, (1866-77) a series of paintings that represent an impression of a place rather than the place itself.

The photographic images are rendered from long exposures in the dark, showing what cannot be seen with the naked eye. In this sense the images are made from the accumulation of time, in which traces of the effects of the exposed time are recorded; it is as if time itself makes the picture. The breakdown in colour values and the digital aberrations in the images are the result of the camera’s interpretation of insufficient data .The images act as a metaphor for when vision breaks down. Our imagination draws from literary, cultural and psychic associations to fill the space beyond this sensory breakdown.
