Work Overview
This piece makes strong conceptual reference to the work of Thomas Barrow, an American photographer (b. 1938) whose output-notably his "Cancellations" series (1973-81)-is characterised by the intentional defacement of film negatives by various means (e.g. scratching with a knife, the use of spray paint or a hole punch, etc.) to disrupt the visual representation. Such a process is highly ambiguous; does it simply draw attention to the medium itself, or are the distortions in the images a commentary on the subjects that they portray?
