material documents | japan


‘material documents’ is an ongoing study of the materials that comprise our external, constructed surroundings.

Each collection of visuals is a meditation, each visual a breath. Each photograph is an offering, an invitation to view the scene and muse on what has been recorded. The lens is passive and uninvasive, sitting parallel to the lines of the setting.
