Undercurrent 2008

New works.

The irony of lookouts. Why do we need designated sites to view the landscape?
Why do we travel to a site – only to look somewhere else, beyond where we stand in the immediate. This work takes issue, makes noticeable the real of the viewing platform.
Working in a survey mode. Much akin to the settlement of Australia, immigrants arrived only to ignore what was here and deliberately set up spaces to remind them of home (land faraway).

These are still untitled works at this stage.

Light and Dark - 2004

An ongoing series of works made and shown in a variety of contexts and sites. Initially this work was exhibited in a very small attic at the top of 6 flights of very narrow and rickety stairs! I blacked out the space and asked that only one or two visitors enter the space and view the work with small penlight torches. The images were made more alive this way and made the experience of viewing these works far more intense. This has been something I have been thinking about for a long time - how to make people spend time in front of photographic images.
