Multiple Exposures to Forest Time
An experimental field practice and photo series in Scotland’s temperate rainforest, using multiple exposures in camera.
This experimental practice explores seasonality, changes to colour, light and canopy through the year and the role of memory and repeat encounters in building long-term relations with forests. Some images capture a sudden change in focus, responsive to forests sounds. Others map seasonal changes, requiring a synchronisation of the artistic process with first leafing and autumn shedding to capture the images.
Others images consider repeat encounters and their role in memory formation, whilst questioning the reliability of memory in building a cohesive understanding of place. In these latter images, layering through multiple exposures abstracts the image to the point of obscuration. The forms become clouded
