Lens Based Practice.
Michelle creates images at the nexus of fine art and exploratory science; her lens based practice blends hand-crafted experimental lighting techniques and analogue methodology within digital systems. Captured with scientific precision, her cyclopedic subjects are presented with a uniquely intimate point of view.
“Light is the medium, a digital sensor the canvas, locomotion the brushstroke; a Locograph is similar to an impressionist painting as it is not concerned with accurate details rather the expression of the moment.”
The series Like a Burgeon makes reference to re-living the feelings of a first intimate encounter, making it through the wilderness of awkward physical changes and the perceived innocence of nature. A blend of hand-crafted experimental lighting techniques and analogue methodology under the microscope.
