'My pictures represent my experiences of looking at landscape. I photograph whatever catches my eye, both distant and nearby and accumulate this information over a period of time. The negatives are selected and combined to form an image that evokes a memory of those experiences. Variations in the composition are achieved by adding or removing negatives as the picture grows. Sometimes over 200 negatives comprise the final composition. I want to liberate my still photographs from the static viewpoint and the single moment. They do not record a fixed position in time or space. They are composed in the studio not in the camera. I hope they encourage prolonged contemplation that moving film does not provide and that these accumulated compositions present an extended sense of experience in a still image that a single-frame photograph does not achieve.' – Noel Myles
