Photography has a long and complicated relationship with memory and truth. This series explores the idea of what a photograph is. Photography\, by definition\, means “writing with light”. It does not mean “framing with camera”. The technical terms for the prints in this series are chemigrams and lumen prints\, and they are made without the use of a camera. The pieces are references to places and moments the artist has personally observed.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nARTIST STATEMENT\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]”My work examines patterns I have been conditioned to make a part of my life – institutions\, relationships\, hierarchies\, life\, death\, loss and gain\, etc. – and documentary photography’s role as an enabler in these structures. I utilize traditional analog photographic processes to make references to people\, places\, objects\, and ideas of the South\, but I deliberately use these materials in ways that also question the boundaries of the medium itself. I am increasingly enamored with finding ways in which opposing processes can be used in synchronicity -developers and fixers\, for example\, constantly fight for space on the prints. Through this work\, I seek to maintain and understand the tension required to keep opposites from overwhelming one another\, and I look for moments where these opposites come together to form creations that could only exist because of their polarities.” – Will Jacks[/vc_column_text]About The Artist[vc_column_text]Website: www.whjacks.com \nInstagram: Instagram.com/wiljax (@wiljax)[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#dd3333″][/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”6095″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”center” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” el_class=”staff gray_section” z_index=””][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInUp” width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”6095″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInUp” width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”6099″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”6098″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row] \n
