Lou Hazelwood Archetypes of Random (unbounded)

Sat, September 21, 2024 - Sun, December 1, 2024

This exhibition of photographic work explores the nature of randomisation, happenstance and abstraction by working with a damaged 35mm film stock that creates circular redactions randomly on the film, chemical manipulation during processing and additional screen printing.

Being unable to predict the outcome of the process is central to this work, lending itself to connections being made between images. The randomly occurring circular redactions present in these abstracted photographs can be seen as diagrams breaking down our understanding of the photographic image and the processes lead us to explore abstract methods of understanding them.
