Fantasy Abandoned by Reason Fear is a fundamental human emotion, often triggered by the unknown and the imagined. It serves as a survival mechanism, preparing us for threats. The interplay of light and dark can both alleviate and intensify fear. Light can reveal what is hidden, providing a sense of safety, but it can also…

“We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as part of a community to which we belong we may begin to use it with love and respect”  (p.viii). Aldo Leopold (1949)  Climate change is not a “distant issue in both time and space” (O’Neill & Cole,…

These spaces form an indistinct borderline between public and privatespace, not quite…

“[THIS IS NOT] AN ARCHIVE OF ME” came about initially as a result of curiosity around the notion of contemporary archaeological artefacts. Contemporary archaeology has been a consistent influence on my work for the last few years; predominantly in the form of a documentary style, focusing on themes around suburban non-places. Deliberately diverging from this…

Concrete, once heralded as the material that would transform the world, has done so – but not as we first imagined. It is cheap, yet the true cost is our environment and future.

How do we live with our differences in today’s social climate? Get Me explores notions of identity, belonging and otherness in the rural community where I now live.

Thirteen Matilda is thirteen. She floats, suspended between two distinct worlds; childhood and adulthood. Her self-perception is emerging. She has become aware of the mark she makes on the world, just as the world makes marks on her. Thirteen reflects this altered state, she is materiality; flesh and blood, yet she is affected by the…
