Tao Ho is a photographer and musician original from Canton, China. He received his MFA degree from Maryland Institute College of Art in 2016. He is currently living and working in New York City. His work based on analogue photography and darkroom related, video, also composed music and sound as his side-project as well. Photographs of “Driftwood” are collected from a different time and places; most of them are from the places where Tao has been lived and visited. The body of work was started from test strips while he was working on full-size prints in the darkroom. The small and easily ignored test strip make him think of the driftwood, that it comes from nowhere, and flow to the unknown places, all the marks and scratch would tell their origins. Fragments, traces, blurry initial impressions from the day-to-day usually appear in his mind spontaneously, transiently or long lasting. To him, it’s a way to perceive the inner heart and a projection of psychology through the process.
