Fear
The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind
is fear. Fears are irrational, unreasoning, unjustified terror
which can interfere with one's everyday life or daily routine.
Humans seem biologically prepared to acquire fears of certain
animals and situations, things they cannot predict or control,
that were usually important survival threats in evolutionary
history.
Using the concept of fear as a theme, these
large prints are part of an ongoing series of personal work.
The choice of image combined with the essence and nature of
the prints portrays fear as a dark, foreboding emotion that can
either appear spontaneously or as a growing realisation.
Each
print is unique in the sense that he has used the photographic
print medium (normally associated with multiple reproduction),
but due to the nature of personally hand developing each print,
each image unrepeatable - similar to our own distinctive fears.
