“The moment we love an image, it cannot remain the copy of a fact”. (Gaston Bachelard)
Lynne Brislanes’ work is concerned with perspective and time in particular how perspective is framed and visualised in relationship to our inhabited spaces. Working with her home environment, her relationships to the spaces and the emotions surrounding these spaces have become paramount to her practice. These themes were developed with reference to a key text by Gaston Bachelard ‘The Poetics of Space’ and the science of Phenomenology.
The process of making the image also informs the work and the essence of the image has always interested her. In practice this has caused her to strip back image recording to its first principles, using rudimentary recording devices and analogue techniques. By combining these techniques with modern technology she creates a subtle blend of old and new which effects how the image is viewed. In applying this way of seeing she considers environments often framed by the notion of nostalgia.
