A series of photographic works, the exhibition is a time slice of 1988 as viewed from the present, exploring time, memory and truth.
"Printing photographs I shot on film with a twin lens Rolliflex camera 34 years ago and seeing them physically emerge for the first time in a post digital world, has a concertinaing effect on time. The past literally reappears through the darkroom chemical process, blurring the boundaries between memory and reality, between past and present.
The indexical quality of photography still holds the power to influence, even though I firmly know it is not a truthful storyteller, and I find myself questioning events based on what I now see. I find myself asking questions of others present at the time, trying to sort out fact from fiction in my fractures memories, fascinated by the intangible distance I feel from the young photographer, as well as the people reappearing in the images, who have also aged 34 years from children to adults, whilst some others will have passed on; their timeline complete."
Wellington St, 1988 holds a precious three months of time.
