“Protocols for attention: gesture condensed to mark; regard condensed to face” (2024). Photographs of constructed paper-collages. Hand-cut strips are assembled on a white ground and re-photographed so that relief and shadow become part of the image. Printed as archival pigment prints on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 gsm, the series sits between photography and drawing: four compact “scene” glyphs and four small portraits of attention (concentration, assent, amused smile, the rounded “O”). Returning to long-standing interests in ritual, theatre and looking, these works translate action into sign and observation into face, inviting the viewer to read for rhythm rather than narrative.
