My work hopes to engage material from my lived
experiences influenced by the structures of there
situationalism. Compelled to understand
how signifiers from the past institutionally
reoccuring the present. Using video,photography,
language and performance my work intends to
reclaim grief by revisiting sites of loss.
Constructing busy compositions,
juxtaposing stylized movement
with documentary footage
to highlight contrasts between the
interior and exterior representation of spaces.
Referring to issues and conflicts present around me;
my work devises a view into a refracted memory.
This prevails in Awaiting eviction as the
photographs map a space
caught in an uncertainty,
yet holding a nostalgic narrative.
Symbols of society are used within my practice
to exemplify the physicality of spaces we inhabit,
with process’ of layering of imagery to urge us to
reflect on the ephemerality of our experience.
This leads to thoughts of home,
scrutinizing their fragility.
Working with actions occurring presently,
my work asks to explore the systematic
cycles of social cleansing that actualize
around us. These themes emerge in
‘Better Queensway’,which showcases a
narrative of pending erasure of a social housing
estate.The works aims to evoke an empathy
towards the demolition. Influenced by works
such as Michael Landy’s Semidetached
which presents working class realities,
diverse in form, fleeting from symbolism to personal happenings.
