Contribution of a mural scale work from the Vortex series. In these images of the binocular (as opposed to ‘binocular images’) the vortex effect arises from convergence; two views of the landscape, photographed from separate viewpoints are superimposed in-camera through superimposition on a particular point.
This point may not be singular, as, depending on the arrangement in depth of objects and sufaces in the scene there will arise a set of nested circles at aligned points in a moire pattern set up by interference between the images. This was an original contribution in the field of lens-based practice which is recognised in the inclusion of this work in this long-running national award.
