Residency and Installation
themes of genesis and synchronicity, destruction, desiccation and regeneration to transmutation are explored within these installation and residency outcomes.
drawing primary sources from physical, philosophical and material elements, each project interaction was developed through a multi-layered approach.
central research methods included participatory acts such as; intentional walking, engagement in the creative conversation, development of archival and contemporary art investigations.
photography & film often harnessing documentary characteristic were pursued, along with the desire for experimental outcome.
Viewers & participants alike were encouraged to consider their own stories and beliefs, in relation to each of these works core motivations.
“Having recently become single, Valentine’s is not a great day, is it?… I wander around the cemetery and if a grave or headstone catches my eye I stop…
