PHOTOGRAPHIC
simultaneity
 
Digital
C-print photographs which capture moments when the interior and
exterior of a building collide, when private experience melds
with the surrounding architecture: creating a simultaneous private
and public space as well as a simultaneous architectural interior
and exterior. These works give the viewer a sense of place and
it's context in space, to create a fuller sense of ‘being
there’.
Future works will focus on buildings that are set to be demolished.
The images are made using a digital camera but the images are
not digitally manipulated as it is important to the concept of
the series to capture moments of simultaniety during the process
of taking the photographs. |
DRAWINGS

in public
  
Over
100 site-specific drawings from
1997 to the present from places such as
NYC, Poland, Belfast, Cushendall-N. Ireland, Copenhagen, Rotterdam
and WTC. These works use found paper and architectural plans from
each site, with stream-of conscious writing and wax. The architectural
plans are reduced and transferred to the found paper, followed
by stream-of-conscious writing, which is then partially erased,
covered in wax and the writing continues. The drawings reference
the intersection between public [the site] and private [the writing]
space, as well as an allegory developed
by Freud for how the unconscious enters consciousness.
He developed this in reference to a children's toy made of wax
that can be written on and then ‘erased’ but which leaves
a residue onto the new text; similar to how fragments of the unconscious
enter into consciousness.

beingthere
A
series of research-based projects about a developing relationship
to architecture, with a set of responses including a net.art
piece, an installation, a curated exhibition and book, shown
simultaneously in private | public | virtual | physical locations
| These projects are about developing a relationship to a space;
a psychological, experiential relationship to architecture and
surrounding ideas of (dis)location, simultaniety and reflection
| the beingthere series
is distinctive in that it deals with developing an individual
relationship with architecture; culminating in simultaneous
intra-disciplinary responses to this experience on many levels
[local/global, private/public, virtual/physical] in order to
create a full sense of being there | through this process,
architecture and space/place will be understood from other perspectives:
experienced from within versus considered from the outside,
as an experiential environment versus an object in space.
