UGM-3

  • Tamara Lawrence

16 A4 photographs This experimental project reveals an artistic interpretation as to what invisible gases could look like if we could see them with the naked eye. Each image resembles a stage of the environment degrading. I wanted to create a body of work that engages an artistic practice but also creates awareness, allowing an audience of all ages to engage with the works. Each image was shot on 35mm and then combined with a chemical overlay I created by mixing various components. Physically mixing the chemicals (both photographic and domestic) portrays the act of ‘doing’ and visualises the unknown as each was an experiment of luck. My aim is to push this project further and document more areas of the UK. I am also in the process of turning the still images into an animation to show the progression of the environment degrading in a new light.
