‘This work explores the subjective nature of reality and aims to question originality in an age of endless reproduction. Unlike Accretion, where I work from a personal childhood photograph, here I work from a found photograph by Man Ray. I question whether photographs are accurate and truthful representations of reality by blurring the image, thereby destabilising the photograph’s claim to objective truth and suggesting the fallibility of memory and perception. These painterly interventions create a respectful distance, transforming photographic documents into meditative elegies.’ -Sheldon
