Student Profile
Brenton Haslam
MFA, Art Studio
My practice is to capture the places, moments, and events where I share a personal relationship through my attention and motions as a collector and documentarian. Photographing temporary scenes that cannot be fully explained or reproduced as they are unique in their place in time. Documenting and preserving objects that are ephemeral, misplaced, surreal, and changed through time by natural, mechanical or repeated use.
What is memorable? What is temporary? What should be noticed? What is meant to be forgotten?
I am creating a record of my obsessive attention, making rhythms of time, environment and transit visible.
