Ray’s interest in 'how stuff works' has inspired an ongoing practice of studio-based camera work.
She continues to use out-moded materials such as photographic film, and creates her photographs
on table-tops. Ray considers the steps involved in the making of her artwork as an integral part of
the photograph. These steps include observing how light behaves when passing through, or
reflecting on various surfaces; or how the pleats and folds of fabric and paper form to create new
complexities. It is the activity of making a photograph,, as opposed to taking a photograph of
something that already exists, that leads her to describe the works as ‘abstract photo-sculptures’.
