Fuss has most often made unique images with a simple process that completely eliminates the camera – a photogram.
Dependent upon the physical qualities of the actual object placed on light-sensitive paper and the length of its exposure to light Fuss has created stunning abstractions and poignant compositions from such materials as babies in water, the trail of snakes across a surface, sunflowers, rabbits and their entrails and light moving in space.
A resident of New York since 1982, Fuss was born in London and departed England for Australia where he first studied photography while working as studio assistant to a commercial photographer.
Fuss' choice of subject matter in these photographs is determined largely by his need to depict stationary objects.
Fuss' return to early image-making processes suggests an affinity with the concerns of an earlier period, when actually his use of simplification and abstraction more closely allies him with the Abstract Expressionist painters, or even the Minimalists.
In Fuss' hands, the use of these inventions of the industrial revolution serves to undermine that period's legacy by emphasizing the phenomenal in lieu of scientific exactitude.
