Silver and Glass is a sequence of eight photographs—each 12 x 18.5 in. (305 x 305 mm)—inkjet printed and face-mounted on plexiglass.
This work is one of the fifteen sequences that belong to an extensive series of photographic works titled Objects in Motion. The series has been executed using digital slit-scan imaging with a unique camera built specifically for that purpose. The camera records time-based events—between 20 and 90 seconds in duration—in the form of static images. A single sequence of images consists of multiple photographic prints, ranging from three to twenty-five images, each depicting moving objects.
The title of the entire series refers to late nineteenth-century chronophotography and the work of Eadweard Muybridge at the University of Pennsylvania (1884–1887), which culminated in two books published in London: Animals in Motion (1899) and The Human Figure in Motion (1901).
