Bill Moseley

My work always involves antiquarian photographic and printmaking processes. There is a resulting sense of timelessness that complements my expression of themes that encompass memory, myth and the uncanny. I am drawn to the romantic figures of art history such as Caspar David Friedrich Arnold Böcklin and Vilhelm Hammershoi. I love to push the collodion ‘tintype’ or ‘ambrotype’ process pursuing contemporary digital positives into creating large grid formats, giving me a broader way to express the imagery from the classic proportions of tintype photography. In portraiture I am drawn to the original small format of 100 x 150mm and have over the years invited visitors to Hill End sit for their portraits, creating a large collection of images.
