SHIFT is a constantly-updated series of photographs, created over a long period of time. The work deals with the deconstruction and decontextualisation of images from existing materials. Through various interventions, both photographs found in magazines and my own images, are transformed by a shift in their original context. By researching and applying different techniques to a photograph that already has a given form – marking over, adding, hiding, highlighting, or changing colour – I am interested in the transformation that occurs; the journey that the image goes through, and all its possible alternative outcomes.
