Examining the way in which
photography mediated and shapes experience, my practice engages with popular
photography, as a language with its own syntactical and semantic rules. My most
recent work explores metonymic structures within photographic language in particular
within the stock photograph. The work seeks to challenge these metonymic
representations while calling attentions to the pervasiveness of these images.
Approaching image making with an expanded idea of image, the work undulates
between language, object and image exploring what is “sayable” and “unsayble”
within these mediums and embracing the generative space between them. - Michelle O'Byrne
