The synthetic landscape
Chamberlain, Ian
Authors
Abstract
Under the title of ‘The Synthetic Landscape’ I will be presenting and discussing my ongoing practice and related conceptual themes.
My work focuses on the use architectural metaphors to investigate ideas around Isolation and boundaries.
I will be referencing past and current projects and their historical and cultural impact, explaining how each body of work feeds into and informs the next.
Some of the locations and projects to be discussed include the Acoustic Sound Mirrors, (Kent) Orford Ness Military testing site ( Suffolk) and the Atlantic wall ( France and Denmark) and my new Shelter works.
Insight will be given into an emerging methodology combing analogue and digital approaches informing a new inter-disciplinary approach.
The use of Photography and film have always formed part of my visual research but they have now been integrated further, using wet plate Collodion photography to help manipulate and deconstruct photographic and drawn works. The photographs are then reworked and abstracted creating something unique, showing a cyclical way of working where elements of the work start to balance the abstract and the figurative becoming a composite of visual fact and my own artistic response.
I will discuss the relevance of printmaking to record my subjects through its drawn, photographic and material qualities and how the geographical and emotional distance back in the studio allows for more abstract ideas to surface and altering what we remember.
The presentation will give a more personal and in depth overview of my ongoing interest into the combination of materiality and concept.
