Archeology is seen as a reduction, a peeling away of layers, a removal of distractions and detritus. A distillation of the significant, a revelation of pattern in that reduction. But it is also a rebuilding back up, a reconstruction, a layering of meaning and hypothesies back onto cleared space, a repopulation of items, landscapes and lives to connect with the past.

I love that process of reconstruction in photography, the finding of an image once the shooting is done, taking the kernal of a moment and unpacking it, stretching it, exploring it beyond the second at which is was frozen. A dialogue of colour and boundaries.
