i'm going to collate these photo diptychs into a body of photo-'poems' and present them as a book i think.
there'll also be sets of three, four and possibly five images, hopefully evoking some sense of 'phrasing' in their composition.
the selection for couplings (or 'triplings' etc) is fairly intuitive. there is no rule or premise to either the single image selection, or which type of subject gets paired with another. really, they are things in my day-to-day travelling that spring out as something of curiosity. matching, say for example the tree stumps and the door knobs in the above images, comes down to a simple intuitive arrangement, something similar to the duchampian process for selecting ready-mades, in which selections are based on those that, at first, elicit neither excitement nor contempt, but rather ambivalence.
once coupled, however, they do ultimately begin to trigger a scrambling for meaning, like all half-way intriguing artistic catalysts should.
