Over the break and over the last couple of weeks I have been experimenting with how to represent these ideas. My recent experiments explore this aging cycle by repeatedly printing images with a basic consumer-grade inkjet printer until the ink from the printer has completely been depleted. The image quality of the photographs progressively becomes poorer and poorer until the image “disappears.” After the image no longer printed I was interested in the processes of “renovating” or “gentrifying” by replacing the exhausted ink tanks with new ones, in an effort to be able to print the image again “as it should be seen.” In the same way that the aging and gentrifying processes have an effect on neighborhoods, I want to see the effect that continual inkjet printing has on images.

Cawley Rd used to be an additional access road into Helensburgh (coming from the Old Princes Highway just south of Waterfall and coming in over the railway down near the railway station and used to be also an access for the mushroom growing operation in one of the old disused tunnels) but these days it's closed off and is just a bush track used by the RFS, NPWS, etc.

San Francisco, 2013
For a period of 30 days, I took a walk every day, navigating through
the city using Grindr, a geo-location gay mobile app that tells the
users the vicinity of gay men around them. Each day I picked a man
I desired, and tried to get as close as possible to him using the app. I
kept a record of my routes and traced them into paths.
