Statement
| Statement | My cross discipline visual arts practice has evolved from my early scientific background. It is experimental and materially based, forming an enquiry into the how boundaries define and separate us, the texture of the interface between psychological and physical environments; the balance and fluidity of the relationship and the place of boundary point. In particular, since pivotal artists residencies in the Antarctic and Arctic, I have been using photography and light to looking at the concept of the interface from the very edges of extreme physical landscape and self. Working with the British Antarctic Survey scientists and Ordinance Survey developers, I have recently programmed a years worth of Polar Light data, while at the same time working on a much more lo-tech but directly related project creating a series of manually cut out photograph collages and archival images. ‘‘Something really does happen to most people who go into the North. The ”North,” he explained, is often uncomfortable; there are dangers of strange mannerisms, there is a fear of getting lost; but there are also the challenges of creating, in isolation, a new understanding of things.’ Glenn Gould. |
