Photo déchirage/collage. Exploring perhaps the 'unfashionable' area of aesthetics per se, here an image is reworked as a ‘form’, so transcending its original, conventional representation via actual physical change. Without any narrative, statement etc we are asked to respond to something purely visually evocative and then, recognising one's response, to consider just what between such an image and one's cognition is embedded in our emotion, senses and/or memory that causes a certain reaction.

The actual process involves a replicated image printed on wafer thin Japanese papers assembled as layers, then in parts torn,rolled back and distressed.
