A layering of space and time, my work interplays found elements and photography. Traces of places,
remnants
of
spaces___
A sense of flux, capturing an environment that is in transit and transformation contrasted by a sense of presence and slow observation. I am interested in the intermingling invisible forces that shape our environments and actions.
I capture elements on the edge of abstraction, stretching the usual register of perception. I present an ambiguity, so the viewer has space to recreate and move beyond the visible. The work often implements an optical oscillation, subtly suggesting a reality that is not fixed, but malleable.
My work captures a place in process, simultaneously constructing and deconstructing. It highlights a betweenness, a binary, where definitive boundaries dissolve . . .
. . ,
Through correlating photographic processes and re-presenting materials often discarded and overlooked, I prise open a gap.
