The photographs of Rod Morris, are entirely personal yet resonate with many strands
of contemporary photographic interest. These beautifully crafted black and white
images defy categorisation and seem to float in time. All the work is in some way
reflective of memory and its processes. Time seems to be kaleidoscopic, the viewer
drawn from the present into history or a potential future, taken on a journey, drawn to
different eras.
'This is a selection of pictures from a much larger series, which I initially
exhibited as part of a group exhibition in London, entitled Telling Tales.
I keep returning to these photographs, and have become aware that, a
photograph is defined not just by what we receive from it, but also what
we give to it. It can be a trigger, a jumping off point for our own thoughts
and memories about the passage of time, our personal history, and our
relationships to people, places and objects.'
