"Window Sequence" (1983) Photograph

This one-off series of nine images was made using a Polaroid SX-70 “instant film” camera with colour filters held in front of the lens. Many exposures were made through the thin curtains drawn across a window of a house (then my home) in Wiltshire, UK. From the many exposures made, a selection of nine were chosen to represent a sequence of changing light - from cold to hot - as the day progressed. This actual mounted sequence was later seen by Bob Lassam, the late Curator of the Fox Talbot Museum at Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire, and chosen as part of a select exhibition of photographic works which opened 15th July 1989 to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the discovery of photography as it was (pre-digital) then known. All images shown in the exhibition celebrated “The Window” as the theme, in celebration of the lattice window in the Abbey which was the subject of the first permanent photographic negative made by William Henry Fox Talbot and from which any number of prints could be repeatedly made. Note: These individual 7 x 7 cms images are presented in the original 55 x 55 cms matt-mount (larger than shown in this photo and signed in pencil) dating from 1983 and thus should probably be replaced with a professionally cut bevelled mount when framing.
