Emma Anderson’s recent photographic works extend on previous discussions into the photograph’s role as a fragmented and abstracted trace of illumination. This work, consisting of individually folded, twisted and solarised photogram’s, documents Anderson’s departure from a lens-based obsession with fleeting abstractions of light and modes of portraiture. Shifting the focus to the photographic process itself, the new works discuss the mediums scientific roots in light and chemistry paired with the photographic act of inversion, both with the images created and the final action of solarisation.
