Dirt Underneath My Fingernails investigates the endured moment as a mode to document the nature of process within the photographic medium.
These images disclose the photographic referent and allowing marks of the landscape to embed themselves into the object of the photographic surface. Through processing the negatives within the landscape, this displays the evidence of the endured photographic moment engraved onto the surface of
the documented landscape.
The nature of waterfalls offers the escape of nature to be one with individual moments which never repeat. The same droplet of water will never fall over
the edge of the cliff again. It is forever a unique experience. These droplets wash over the photographic negatives recording their unique information onto
the objects allowing the experience of the endured journey to be compressed into a single image. Documenting the landscape, the process and the
individual moments endured by the photographic journey.
