Renovation Plans 2020
Shifting my attention away from the individual and towards our chosen collective living spaces, it is my intention to discover through the construction of an array of sculptural assemblages, how to best capture a sense of the geometric congruity we live within.
Constantly examining the examples of architecture that surround me, I’m building into my work an acute awareness of the harmony and disjuncture between shadow, line, angle, form, material, texture, colour and shadow; in order to fuse and transpose these elements which we see every day, into accentuated anecdotal assemblages or environments. Built from found, recycled or repurposed materials, documented through curated imagery and later dismantled; these locations now only exist within the flattened two-dimensional space of a photograph as trompe l’oeil illusions.
More minimal sculptural works have been made to compliment the photographic series of images, using selected faux materials from the photographed scenes with clean-cut precision in their reconstruction. This installation method is used as a means of further exposing the false functionality and ‘truthfulness’ of the environments depicted, whilst highlighting the synthetic quality of our everyday. I am examining the idea of ‘truthfulness’ – hinting at the process behind the prints with confounding feedback loops between the constructions in real space and their representation in photographs.
