Observations on death, loss and grief, ritual, memorial and remembrance through the lens of art + photography

Soul Imaging

Soul Imaging is a series of images created in a transition from photography to projection; from projection, through the lens of a Camera Obscura and from there back to photography.

The merging and separation of these layers results in mysterious, shadowy images that somehow float one-step removed from the picture surface. Like 19th Century 'spirit' photographs they have an aura which is hard to pinpoint, floating one-step-removed from the figure in the waiting room.
