Stability in Place
The images that you are presented with are not true. They are a subjective representation of place and reflect an intimacy with the environment.
A ready-made sculpture incorporates the top of a camper van, balanced on a brick wall, held in place with a ladder. The series focuses on the found, poetic fragments that have remained from ‘their’ childhood. Its original purpose for construction, as a shelter for calves is no longer relevant.
Inventive metaphors exist through the objects and materials presented in the photographs. Their flexibility in the interpretation stage allows for people of different histories to come together creating a sense of migration. This movement or psychological shift is my interest in the series and is shown through the moments and sculptures that I have selectively photographed.
