A reflection between digital and analogue photographic processes speaking to our current spaces.
Chester explores the process of film photography, and works to create deeper connections with their art through acknowledging the step-by-step journey that produced Current Spaces. Current Spaces combines digital and analogue photographic processes to create three sequenced projections, allowing them to develop a deeper connection with the work. Chester takes agency over their photographs, as they partake in every step of the process. Producing the three-series works which are intertwined with their identity as an artist. Enabling Chester to have a more intimate connection with their work. The process is not only embodied in the image, but also in the post-production where they process each image by hand.
Constantly learning new techniques, skills or ways of working with and around a camera is the base of my practice. To keep learning, moving and growing both as a person and as an artist is reflected in Current Spaces along with their overall practice. Chester is constantly looking at new and old ways of working; infrared, film and developing film by hand are just a few of the many methods Chester follows in their art-making. As such, combining different techniques in developing, processing, and digitising is vital in creating Current Spaces.
