I have recently been introduced to the work of Steve Pippin during ym tutorial with Jon, I can't believe I have not come across his work during my pinhole research. He seems to be a key pinhoel artist and was short listed for the Turner prize in 1999. His work has close connections to mine, in that it is not just the end photographs which is centre to his practice but, also the camera itself. Being interested in mechanics his work shows this, taking mudance objects and furniture and turnig them into pinhole cameras. This includes; fridges, washing machines and bath tubs. An example of his work is shown above, in the overall appearance the image is like my own pinhol photographs, the round image inside the square of paper. His photographs also show a beautiful aged appearance, which I love. I am very inclined to look into making work on a larger scale and seeing what objects I can use to create my images.
