While travelling internationally - often alone and working to demanding schedules - I photographed exclusively with a large-format 5×4 rail camera. Alongside each commission, I began making images for myself. Over time, these photographs became what I came to call the happenings. At times, there was a crossover between commissioned access and personal work. Being allowed into spaces I would not otherwise have entered gave rise to situations that unfolded with limited intention or control. Although the frame was carefully chosen, it was often only after the event that the image fully revealed itself. Even when partially orchestrated, meaning remained ambiguous - shifting through the act of photographing and again through time. As with my other works in this exhibition, these photographs are less concerned with documentation than with experience. They function as moments of encounter - shaped by perception, chance, and memory - where meaning is not fixed at the point of exposure, but continues to evolve through recollection and the viewer’s own act of looking.
