I made another photo zine. This time it is conceptual photo’s taken in the past few months. I tried to showcase some of my favorite and most interesting photos I have been taking as well as give my descriptions and/or thoughts to some of the photos. It is in all b/w, mostly fisheyes, and handsewed.
Little taster of my new zine.
A5 black and white, 60 pages.

“My aim in this project is to reanimate memory and a collection through recreation, beginning with an online archive. This website presents an archive of 35mm photographs. The home page acts as an index of images, each presenting triggers for memories from the place where the image was conceived. Followed by an additional set of images which have been sought in everyday surroundings to replicate or replace the memory of a feeling, thought, aesthetic and emotion. The online archive provides longevity and displays an on-going fascination with looking for the past in the present.
The inability to recreate an authentic tangible memory is further explored in the physical archive. Casts of objects ‘remembered’ from the house shown on the website are cast in clay, only these are negative casts presenting the shadow of the object. They imitate the objects but are never authentic to the original, housed in display boxes within a triptych of archival solander boxes. The urge is to contain and preserve, but ultimately what is being held on to is merely an unsatisfactory imitation.”

‘Phantasmagoria of Memory – Integral pieces of a life story.’“Phantasmagoria of Memory, book and photographic prints are an inspiration from my dissertation question; ‘What is the future for the traditional family photograph album, is the method and approach of collecting and storing family photographs changing as the digital era spreads?’
This project started from a small tin, a tin of hidden memories. This tin represents a life still alive today, not dead. It’s an old biscuit tin bursting full of old and faded photographs, postcards and negatives; a treasure chest now unearthed. I collected these negatives and gave new life to these discarded memories, using liquid light. Keeping this faded dream like quality to the newborn photographs; I used certain type of brush strokes, whilst painting on the emulsion to gain this technique.”
Last week I bought this absolutely stunning zine by Sam A Harris.
It arrived this morning and it really is lovely! He is an amazing photographer, photographing everything I love, landscapes, woodland, portraits, etc.
He is on tumblr too!Buy your own zine here! Or even purchase a print, it’s all beautiful work.
a present for my mum, thanks to my friends for helping me bind it and jessops for beautiful photo paper
This is a one of a kind “artist’s book” made from a found vintage Kodak processed film box. The box has been appropriated to the cover. Although it is very small 1.5” x 4.25” is is hard bound with an additional hard case. The pages contain a miniature photo print collection of 16 of my photographs. All pages/prints are printed on archival photo paper specifically for this book. This artist’s book represents collecting in the way of nicknacks which closely parallels my general mode of photographing and art making.

Progress on this ongoing pet project.
All are sized down from their final size.
Most of these are just the crops I’ll be using for future phrases and illustrations.

LOOK AT THESE :D
Another Deptford Market find:
Hidden in a grubby storage case beneath a pile of silverware, a hoard of 35mm black and white negatives featuring a 1950s blonde getting her kit off! Very tongue in cheek but quite exciting to shift through - felt as if I’d discovered someones old school under the…
