I needed absolute stillness. There was no sound. I think of it as collapsing time onto a sheet of film held in a large-format plate camera. I opened the shutter, locked it open, then sat down quietly and waited. This series stands in stark contrast to the idea of photography as a 'decisive moment'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThis title of the series, \u003ci\u003eColour \u003cspan class=\"outlook-search-highlight\"\u003eField\u003c\/span\u003es, \u003c\/i\u003eis taken from the term colour \u003cspan class=\"outlook-search-highlight\"\u003efield\u003c\/span\u003e painting, used by Barnett Newman, Clyfford Still, and Mark Rothko (among others) to describe the stripping away of figuration in order to evoke meditative responses to what is largely unseen, yet available to the senses.
