Resonance
Resonance explores the relationship between architecture, abstraction and the way we see familiar structures. Rather than documenting buildings as recognisable places, I am interested in isolating their curves, planes, surfaces and repeating forms and allowing them to become something more ambiguous.
By moving in close and stripping away the surrounding context, architecture becomes a collection of shapes, lines, edges and spaces that can be read almost as abstract compositions. Curves echo across the images, while changes in viewpoint and light alter the way the forms are perceived.
I am interested in the point where a recognisable subject begins to lose its identity. At first we may sense that we are looking at architecture, but as the images become more tightly framed, that recognition becomes less certain. What remains is the visual language of the structure itself — geometry, rhythm, balance, tension and movement.
The title Resonance reflects this idea of forms echoing one another. Similar curves and shapes recur throughout the series, but each photograph offers a different interpretation.
For me, the work sits somewhere between photography and abstraction. The architecture provides the starting point, but by changing the way I look at it, it becomes something else.
