“Initially inspired by the writings of Ian Sinclair and his views on ‘mapping’ it has led me to discover psychogeography, whereby you explore environments by instinct, finding the hidden, alternative space.

Fifteen paces is a focused exploration of my experiences. Taking time to notice things that occur in my daily life, existing alone amongst the backdrop of this urban lifestyle. Not the loud, projective subject matter, but the quiet, banal objects that survive in a space of their own. Constantly moving forward, remembering, not forgetting what went before, but always looking, seeking and finding something else, questioning my pause and choice for putting that moment, that object into the rectangular frame of a photograph. It has become as much a study of my surroundings as it has my identity, proving my existence amongst this commonplace matter. The pace of life in western society is in fast forward mode and people become blind to the beauty around them. I hope people can find a small piece of beauty amongst the work and take a moment to appreciate it for simply being it.”

“‘On Road’ is a series of images I have been working on for the past year. I initially started taking photos for the series because of a genuine interest in people, popular culture, social groups and class structure. This drove me to document the people around me on the street. It seems as though in the 21st century, image is everything. Even if not intentionally, when a camera is pointed at us we react. Subconsciously or not, we pose. This was something that I wanted to avoid in my photos for this series. I wanted to capture people in a natural way, without them knowing they were being photographed. This is part of the reason I shoot most of the images from the hip to conceal the recognised action of taking a photograph, raising the camera to the eye.”

“…no information at all is given about the image reproduced because it seemed to us that such information might distract from the points being made.” John Berger

“Once a word is written a limit is set, boundaries have been narrowed, potential removed, that’s hole not coop.

Hope, agitation, history, remembrance, loss, gain, frustration, wear, sacred, time, repetition, chaos, play, light, dirt, age, reflection, decay, love, habit, use, colour, change, pun, futility, records, insignificance and monumentality, pleasure, absurdity, poignancy, the moment, and all and none of the above.

This is coop not hole.”

“Contained”

“Sarah Chapmans current practice centralises around the constructed natural environment, addressing environmental issues surrounding our use of plastics and our need to contain and control our surroundings, building them in our vision. Her work often results from performances within the natural landscape, with only photographic documentation of the performances remaining. Phenomenology remains at the forefront of Sarah’s work.

The 'Contained' series were begun on the Aland Archipelago Guest Artists Residence in Finland which Sarah undertook in 2009. The act of ‘containing’ an aspect of the natural landscape was in many ways a performance within the landscape. As someone who is environmentally aware, the process of using clear plastic bags to temporally contain an element of the landscape felt both brutal and highly conscious. It also provided a different experience of the landscape as I became aware of small creatures that lived in rock pools, bugs that surrounded the trees, the colour of the water, the fragility of the leaves and so on. After the scene was documented, the bags were emptied in a continuation of the performance. The landscape would return to its previous state and no evidence of my interference within it would remain.”

“past presence”

"This body of work came about through an old set of family images that used I hang on the wall of my childhood home. I remember being facinated by these images that showed me what my forefathers looked like, people that I have never met before, yet people that I can relate to and sometimes even see myself in. This is the power of photography.

These photographs no longer hang on the wall of the family home. The marrage between the photographs and the walls now exists here in my own photographs. These people have an affinity with the walls of this house and they will continue to do so for the time that these photographs remain."
