REPLICATION
This series of photographs
was intended as primary source material for paintings that never materialised.
I was studying Drawing and Painting at Glasgow School of Art at the time
1987-1991. I took photographs of people and places that were important to me. I
made prints as working tools from 35mm colour film negatives.
This sequence of images are medium format digital photographs of photographs I shot and printed circa 1992 from film negatives. Captured as they were after decades in storage complete with dust and fingerprints. The intent was to photograph a photograph. The replication leads to a transformation of the image. It becomes something entirely other to the original despite sharing the same information.
Replication-the process by which genetic material or a living organism gives rise to a copy of itself.
