Since graduating with a Photography degree in '97, I have worked on commissions in photography, video and digital media, including a number of projects and collaborations with theatre and performance companies, while developing independently motivated work in still and moving lens based image. My core area of practice is photographic still image, using medium and large format cameras and traditional films and papers, as well as digital processes. I also combine this with other traditional practices and media, for instance, I've recently worked with life casting in plaster, which I have approached very much as a photographic process in capturing an intimate trace of subject or object. My work often draws on visually based historical research together with related investigations in new media. I’m particularly interested in exploring the complex of imaging technologies arising before and after the emergence of photography in the early nineteenth century, as one means of understanding implications/potentials of current digital imaging technologies. My own work typically involves combining these traditional or historically inspired photographic approaches with digital techniques. Joanna Kane CV Bibliography
