鈥淲hat is that feeling when you鈥檙e driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? 鈥 it鈥檚 the too-huge world vaulting us, and it鈥檚 good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.鈥澛犫 Jack Kerouac,聽On the Road (1957).
Patrick Clelland is a Sydney-based photographer whose work explores the atmospheres of urban environments, both within Australia and throughout Asia, constantly in flux, stop-starting between locations where destination is a concept never to truly be attained.
Amongst hope rooms, train carriages and corridors, close attention is given to colour, light, geometry and textures. Detail is in the passing of a moment, in the light reflecting off a tram seat; in an advertisement sliding past a bus. Clelland’s analogue images explore locations as they exist in our mind 鈥撀爏napshots of moments in-between.
