Artist Statement for Corrie Mccluskey

I am fascinated with the themes of "place" (as a repository of memory and symbol), the passage of time, looking at the forbidden and forgotten - the shadow. I do a kind of street survey, focusing on buildings and warehouses, prisons, mining towns, train stations, cityscapes, graffiti and architectural details, using ambient light. I study how people have interacted with their environment, and how the space can take on a life of its own, often with ghosts at every corner.

Many of my images are of settings that people have left behind like empty skins. My subjects are often backyards, back alleys, back doors and hallways of structures. What absorbs my interest is the spirit of the place itself with its inherent memories of the past still lingering, something lost, old, left behind.

I shoot in two formats: 35mm and medium format, and print in editions of 25, on 11x14 warmtone Ilford fiber paper and archivally toned with selenium.
