Duncan Green
Making images is for me an exploratory exercise, in material, spiritual, psychological and metaphysical senses. It is a way to witness, without telling or asking, and a way to visit the intersection of the mundane and the divine.

In my work, I am concerned with seeing under the surface of things, places and people. I try to witness the world, illuminated by natural light and inner vision, and follow my unconscious to a representation that speaks without words to the inner life of the viewer. Natural forms, patterns, and abstractions interest me, as they tend to reach beyond the thinking mind to the instinctual and intuitive parts of the mind- the level on which I am most interested in communicating.

I hesitate to say what any particular image or group of images is about. I prefer to leave that to viewers to decide for themselves.

Believing in preserving traditional art media and in the unique attributes of film and of silver prints, I continue my lifelong film and darkroom photography practice alongside my more recent digital photography experimentations. These images were all made on film, most of them with a 60-year-old, entirely mechanical camera. All but three are traditional darkroom prints- no computer was used in any part of their creation. The remaining three were scanned from the negative and printed on an Epson R3000 photo printer.
