2004 - The Brightening of Things






The Brightening of Things.

Following on from the 'Not dark yet... but soon' Project I began the development of the brightening of things series. Inspired by working within familiar interior spaces I began to explore ideas of nostalgia and personal memory within the houses of family and friends.

I would work whilst the spaces were unoccupied in an attempt to capture the quiet and contemplative atmosphere of these spaces when they devoid of the life that they are built and modified to house.

The final exhibition piece was comprised of 10 5x5 inch framed photographs which were accompanied by 4 handmade, concertina bound, 3x3 inch books of images.
