Item Special Note
Jon Stuart uses photography to collect and process delicate evidence, which he uses to reveal meaning and sublimity in the apparently mundane. His images are rich portrayals of events that played out before the photographer arrived. Each scene contains clues to existence, presence, and place, not merely documenting physical locations but places charged with significance.
Jons detailed photographs, whether landscape or portrait, seek to draw the viewers eye from object to subject, shifting their view from a space on the ground to a place in the mind.
Jon was formerly an accident investigator, and he employs these skills to inform and guide his practice. He presents his conclusions using various printing techniques, from the subtle gradations of gelatine silver and pigment-ink to post-processed video stills.
Jons work is held in public and private collections within Canada and the UK.
