Logical Atomism is a double monoprint that combines the use of a photo negative and of an artisanal mechanism for creating regular motion while insulating the image. It is part of a series of works exploring digital and analogue crossings and “action photograph” methods within the darkroom. The original negative shows a myriad of details from a beach setting, with organic, mineral and synthetic materials. A steady motion during the printing process creates an almost panoramic view of the original image, distorted and prolonged from sea to shore to daylight to darkness.

From The Still, these limited editions were shot in Ireland from 2014 to the present, exploring both the concept of instant photography and the presence of textual elements within images.
