Artist Statement

Travelling through the modern urban 'legoland' of spaces, passing through a faceless, but hidden fantastical margin.

Nocturnal surveying within the banal, "taking the space", its use and waste, "on the border", modelled landscaping.

The images i have submitted are a partial combination of two years work and seperate projects that have run into each other, concluding with the "Islands" series (degree show).

With this series I have focused on the roundabout (traffic island), an obstacle that we all pass by at some point where nothing happens, but has significance in being a meeting point.

"Nodes are the points, the strategic spots in a city into which an observer can enter, and which are the intensive foci to and from which people are travelling. They are junctions, places of a break in transportation, a crossing or convergence of paths, moments of shift from one structure to another."
Kevin Lynch - 'The Image of the City' (1960), pg47.

Moments of unspoken gesture....
