Abstract
This work continues an ongoing exploration into the intrinsic properties of the photographic medium, such as its de-materialising capabilities, its relationship to time and space, and its absent-presence.
Blending experimental analogue techniques with digital technology, this image is part of a series that explores photography as both material and immaterial, surface and spirit, document and abstraction.
During the tactile process of a Polaroid lift, the image becomes momentarily translucent, extremely fragile and malleable taking on new forms on different surfaces before if it is digitised and recirculated. It is a reminder of the ephemeral nature of both the photograph and what it temporarily captures.
Emulsion was exhibited at the 2025 COLLECTIVE exhibition, curated by the Perth Centre for Photography (PCP), Perth’s only dedicated photographic arts organisation.
COLLECTIVE is Western Australia’s largest open-themed photographic art event. Each year, COLLECTIVE brings together a diverse array of artistic visions from selected contributors across Australia and beyond, providing a dynamic space for the convergence of creativity, innovative thinking, multiple perspectives, and critical discourse.
The exhibition opened on 05 December 2025 at the PSP Art Space, in Fremantle.
