Fragmented Whole
1988
Kathmandu seemed to be a subject for which the tiling effect of these collages would work well. So I left with a lot of negative films and a sketch book in my bag. The collages were composed as a dialogue between the camera and the pencil. The sketches done on location helped me to visualise the progression of the composition which were later exhibited with the final prints.
While the camera fragmented the subject seen through the viewfinder, the pencil re-unified its perception on the paper. This graphic exploration of time and space initiated a body of work that developed over the next few years and eventually took the form of photo-objects.
