The concept of THE COLLECTOR
Josh:
The concept for the collector sprang from imagining what animals from the zoo or animals migrating to different locations might or could do to an urban environment. I was looking at a lot of rhino images and kept daydreaming about what I could stick on the horn. I had a vision of a rhino walking around the street scooping up street signs, adding them to its collection. There is also a tongue in cheek joke implied about the world of art collecting.

The title of the show is a playful juxtaposition that hints at aspects of Burford’s artistic practice of imaging with light; Lucky imaging being the modern practice of visualising distant galaxies using highly sophisticated photographic methods and fiat lux – from the ancient latin proclamation “let there be light”.
Burford’s latest collection of works on canvas and Diasec represent a culmination of his exploration into the aesthetic qualities of time-lapse photography, a process that translates the transient animus of cinema into the stasis of the photographic image. ‘Fiat Lucks’ introduces new developments from his studio practice, including work that examines the randomised statistical nature of visual inference, a theme that he has been developing through his doctoral research into simulated photography at Chelsea College of Arts in London.
The initial basis of Burford’s practice is the production of time-lapse photographs of cinematic time using specially constructed cameras which he combines with synthetic methods to explore the instrumental potential of simulated photorealism.

Beginning as a simple exploration of images as two-dimensional objects, Mel Bles’ Islands, evolved into a rhythmic meditation on line, form, light and shape. The curves and crevices of bodies echo the rippling slopes of sand dunes, and close-up profiles steeped in shadow mirror the rolling drama of cloud formations arching across the sky. The continuous presence of lines thread the images in Islands together, painted purposefully across Bles’ nude models to trace their shapes and movements, subtly recalling the body and performance art of the 1970s. There are glimpses of gestures and hands, faces and expressions, but most often the people we see become mere bodies – sculptural figures enfolded into the images in the same way all other organic forms are, malleable matter to be used and reused. Eclipsing in and out of the shadows, these bodies appear as fragmented parts; islands of their own.
