The Mediums Glasses I & II - Photographs printed onto old pairs of glasses using traditional darkroom techniques
I was inspired to produce a series of works based on nineteenth century occult and pseudo-scientific documentary photography. During the nineteenth century it was believed that camera technology could capture the spirit world and photographs appearing to show ghosts and a range of occult phenomena were often used as "evidence" for a world that lay beyond what we could see.

Using a projector and some everyday photographic images I distorted the light with the use of prisms, lenses and other glass objects. I photographed the results and then zoomed into certain sections of the photographs. Certain areas of these images looked as if they were inhabited with strange and ghostly human figures. I selected and worked over these areas to make these ghostly figures more apparent.
