Signs of Life.

“What might be clues perhaps, but moreso signs of life, of the other life she seeks, impregnated into surfaces, scratched or carved out unconsciously, drifting across the streets of cities, caught in the cracks between things.”

- A HANGING IN THE HOME or LA CONDITION HUMAINE or LA TENDRESSE by Becky Beasley.

Self Portrait.

Contact prints from my last project, which the project I am currently working on is inspired by and will be based on. I will explore the subconscious state of mind by forcing my sitters into a trance-like state through long exposures with a 5x4 pinhole camera. I am interested in how these resemble a fetus inside a womb - a temporary space - a world outside "reality", like the subconscious; imagination, memory, dreaming.

I am part of a collective with three other London-based artists called 'leoht', which this project is linked to. To follow our collaboration and process click here.

Arctic Dreams.

 "The mind we know in dreaming, a non-rational, non linear comprehension of events in which slips in time and space are normal, is ... the conscious working mind of an aboriginal hunter. It is a frame of mind that redefines patience, endurance, and expectation."

Barry Lopez - Arctic Dreams.
