Artist Statement:
My photography explores themes
of "place" (as a repository of
memory and symbol, and as a
cultural artifact), the
passage of time, looking at
the forbidden and forgotten.
I've searched out sites that
touch the deeper emotions –
places that are hard to look
at, or where those in charge

Corrie Mccluskey's Premiere Artist Portfolio
Welcome to Corrie Mccluskey's Portfolio.
My photography explores themes of "place" (as a repository of memory and symbol, and as a cultural artifact), the passage of time, looking at the forbidden and forgotten. I've searched out sites that touch the deeper emotions – places that are hard to look at, or where those in charge don't want us to see. This is a commitment to finding the "truth" (if there is such a thing) and a reminder of our choices as human beings. My method is to do a kind of street survey, focusing on buildings & industrial warehouses, prisons, train stations, cityscapes, graffiti and architectural details, using ambient light. I study how people have interacted with their environment and how the space can take on a life of its own, often with ghosts in every corner. Many of my images are of settings that people have left behind like empty skins.
