Chris Morgan is a practicing artist from Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. Chris began experimenting with the analogue photographic process both compositionally and technically as a teenager. He has adapted these skills to processes developed by Photoshop engineers using the basic operations of burning in, holding back, layering, altering exposure and retouching. To Chris, single photographic images represent just a sample of something. Initial sampling from one area can be used as the basis for image building. Samples from other areas as a consequence, from geographically and in proximity to things in a sociological sense, can be further used as building blocks when constructing the image. What is carefully crafted forms from compositional values in two basic ways. Firstly from the images that are appropriated from the field of view, and then from what reveals itself compositionally as images are combined and layered to render the approximation of the environment within which the photographs were taken in the first place. This process opens up possibilities for historical, contemporary and futuristic contemplation.
