This work was made for a commission
to document European spa towns. I chose to base the project
on the career of the landscape painter Robert Pinnacle, who
visited and resided amongst these unique societies which provided
his main source of patronage.
In Pinnacle's era artists frequently used such devices as pinholes
to assist perspective and, partly for this reason, I chose to
re-construct his works using a pinhole camera. While re-tracing
his career through Europe I made other photographic works using
a variety of formats and processes, contemporary and historic,
drawing on the narratives that prevail in these once fashionable
locations. |
