The images of Across Paths and Into Fields, are produced by tracing the trajectory of a laser or capturing stray light as it is directed around a raman spectroscopy system used for the characterisation of nanomaterials. The technique involves an “imaging” of materials through a graphical representation of their molecular structure, with highly energised light from the laser functioning to simultaneously transform and observe the form and composition of the material.
Observing the agency of light at the same time as an image is made, moves away from the idea of the photograph as representation of something already existing. The photographic moment is less about copying what already is, and instead part of an extended process of becoming, being more speculative and productive.
