Artist Statement

After a 18 month photography blitz taking photographs of weather.This work ‘On a clear day I can see god’, presents what is left, the sun rise and sunset a form of ‘energy’ and optical illusion. Light and colour are energy, colour is derived from light. Sunlight, which contains all the wavelengths, consisting of the entire electromagnetic spectrum that we depend on, to exist on this planet.

I came about these ideas by continually reducing my images down to emotions. I would, go out and respond, instinctively and emotionally, purposefully blurring and distorting images, to create movement, space, light and emotion. I committed myself to take photographs that needed no distorting. Which developed into searching for natural weather phenomenons, that had similar aesthetic and conceptual values that I was striving for. Speculation, clarity and resolution. God is used as a metaphor in this work. A popular term for a form of reflection and connection to something, that may differ from object reality. Whether in ourselves, deity or the natural world.

What am I on about?

'untitled' ink pen drawing and digital manipulation by Candice Herne 2009

I have been thinking about what my work is actually about.

As an artist, it can be difficult to pinpoint what one is on about most of time. I think of and view the world through a picture frame. My brain is like a gallery where I'm always cutting and pasting and hanging up bits and pieces; capturing sound, sights and smells that imprint themselves so I can look, think and question. Then somewhere down the track they seem to manifest into something I call Art.

I am definitely a voyeur of life; interested in philosophy, human psychology, the natural world and how we all co-exist. I am intrigued by the ups, downs, easts and wests of life and death and everything in-between.

I see my work as purely representational of me exploring my own identity and place in the universe and how today's society influences, leads and herds us to make cultural, political, religious and spiritual judgements.

Through my process I am always questioning, analysing and looking for answers and trying to find a way to identify and connect with people. Ultimately my mission is to feel peace; inner peace, community/neighbourhood peace, world peace. R.I.P.
