Elaine STEVENSON

Artist Statement

Elaine’s work focuses on the interplay between light and physical environment, be it built or natural. She chooses to focus not upon faithfully representing what is real, but instead upon exploring what cannot be seen, the space where light and sound become one, where light responds to sound, and sound to light. This work, sometimes described as ‘painting with light’, begins life as surreal photographic recordings of light captured in settings resonant with intense beat-driven sound-scapes, energising bodies and minds alike. Between lens and print, the processes that create the final image draw heavily on lived observations of the interactions between light and its physical surroundings. They reflect journeys into a plethora of disparate visual environments … above and below the oceans, from the microscopic to the panoramic, through history’s bricks and mortar, and back again, to the frenetic point where light and sound merge in a cacophony of beats and bodies.
