Migration

Migration explores the movements and patterns created by birds as they journey across the sky. There is a sensitive and delicate feel to the images, which is enhanced by the Polaroid emulsion lift technique. By experimenting with the physical nature of photography, I am able to convey a sense of fragility and life within the work. Each lift is unique and placed onto a tile, in turn creating not only an image, but also a photographic object. The folds, tears and other imperfections in the emulsion represent time and the experience that comes from migrating.
