John Blakemore writes that “The idea of photographing the wind contains a paradox, the photograph describes surface appearance, the wind is invisible. To depict the traces of the wind, movement etched in light, I evolved a method of multiple exposure. The relationship of the photograph to time was thus extended, became itself a process, a mapping of time, an equivalent of the process of the landscape itself.” (John Blakemore, Photographs 1955-2010, Dewi Lewis Publishing, 2011 (p114))
