Ilfochrome Ciba Classic Print, aluminium mount, TruVue Museum Acrylic and frame

A series of five photographs that capture human traces in landscape and architecture. Walls are a recurring motif, attracting me through their absorption of history as they become a record of those who built, lived within and ultimately abandoned them. Despite a conspicuous absence of the body, the photographs emit a human presence.


35mm colour film, HD transfer, 7min-45sec (single screen installation)

A film installation entitled "Waiting". This piece was made in a factory used to process Sisal and has an abstraction that hovers somewhere between film and painting. The washed-out colour of the hair-like material, the light, and the interior of the factory create a saturated monochrome that, combined with the film's soundtrack, becomes immersive. Recorded on 35mm film and then transferred to high-definition, every nuance of the building is captured.
