Ben Blick-Hodge. The apophony series aims to explore a kind of visual intonation with true lilies are faceted into structurally symmetrical wreathes.
Following the linguistic concept of the same name, the apophony series aims to explore a kind of visual intonation. Using a process of photographic capture and digital arrangement, for these works true lilies are faceted into structurally symmetrical wreathes. From the natural fall of light in multiple photographs, a coherent light source is then gathered to illuminate a form that hovers between idea and object, fabrication and documentation.
Sydney photo media artist Ben Blick-Hodge wants to start a conversation about the fallibility of perception. Driven with curiosity regarding the act of observation – simply, what we see because of how we see – his work deals in conflating visual cues. Natural objects are cast into kaleidoscopic geometry, happenstance is arranged into a pattern, and differing perspectives are combined to produce incalculable points of view.
