For this exhibition, Davidson draws on the artwork of Australian photographers Bill Henson and Rosemary Laing. Using a macro lens to create tightly cropped details of their work, he transforms these fragments into a large-scale photographic installation. Through processes of sampling, reproduction and shifts in scale, Davidson displaces the photographic image from its original descriptive function, reassembling fragments into fields of light and colour. Rather than directly depicting the ocean and sky, the work evokes a sensory and psychological experience of looking toward a horizon or becoming immersed in water. Here, the landscape operates not simply as subject matter, but as a perceptual condition.
