‘Every entity is only understood in terms of the way in which it is interwoven with the rest of the universe’ Alfred North Whitehead, Philosopher

My recent work has been investigating and questioning the relationship of inside and outside space, encompassing the experience of a place that is both physically and visually engaging through man-made and natural structures found within plants, landscape and architecture, exploring specific locations and the immediate environments of The British Museum and the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. The lily print is a hybrid a cross between two different varieties growing in a glass house with a reliance on protective, climate controlled conditions in England, it is native South America where it grows wild. The Turbine Hall was once used as a power sation generating electricity for Bankside. The British Museum’s recent modernist extension with the old reading room situated at the heart of The Great Court giving it the circular shape with 3,312 unique glass panels. All these structures are hybrids of their former selves.
My ideas are developed through drawing, photography and printmaking takin the viewer on a journey, physically moving through the space experiencing ‘still space’ realised in the medium of woodcut. The imaged begin to take on a monumentality.... ...and this journey continues into time based media in the form of a video. What are you seeing? Where are you in relation to the space? part real and imaginary space developed through the medium of video incorporating layered elements of drawing and print. Exchanges begin to rake place between static and shifting spaces, interior and exterior spaces.
As the work has progressed the viewers participation and interaction within the space has become an increasingly important part of the work and showing the video on a small scale opens up questions of the sheer volume of the Turbine Hall and a film can be played over and over again the space and movement within takes place out of its own time. There is a strong juxtaposition between the process of woodcuts, printed using an old Victorian garden roller and hand burnishing, alongside a video which had ultimately been produced ‘digitally’ the two mediums situated at completely opposite eds of the historical scale sustaining each other. Experiencing different levels of representation.
The time based work marks a continuation from the act of drawing and print, and the initial aim being for the mediums to work alongside each other creating a sense of scale, frame, and a strong visual impact providing a thought provoking multi-media experience.
