Provided by the artist - James Mellon "Love Faith Death is a selection of my diary entries , personal slices of fiction that serve to make up my fact. The work, produced over a number of years , features subject matter that is close to me, so that the photographs are in a sense 'given rather than taken'. I prefer to wait until i am startled into making a picture. The images are stained, torn,written on and positively hammered until they convey the emotional sense i am feeling at the time."
