The mechanism formulated to explore my online image archive is largely beyond my control. Commissioned participants define my direction and create new frameworks for reorganizing the original archive.
Recognition of two themes in my own archive – images involving shadows and stacks of correlated paper – began with selections made by participants in 35 weeks. In several cases, image selections seemed to be in dialogue with selections made by other participants. These incidental image dialogues made by participants accessing the original archive did not seem to require a newly-posted reply as dictated by the image-dialogue mechanism.
Recognition of the extent to which image themes involving shadows and correlated paper permeated my existing archives, led to the isolation of these image types in the original archives and experimentation with material representations of these in studio practice.
In the spirit of bottom-up project design, I am now asking anyone who can, to ‘like’ as many images as appeal to them by visiting my open album PAPER STACKS on Facebook.
