Occurrences.
During 2005 I was working on a number of ideas exploring occurrences or happenings. I began to photograph a series of self imposed happenings , placing objects with memorial or emotional linkages within public spaces and photographing them. After they had been photographed the objects were left in place to deteriorate over time. The two images above feature small red butterflies which were direct photocopies taken form a broach found within my grandmothers childhood belongings.
Some images from this series featured in an exhibition of my work during 2006.

When I See a Leaf Fall I Always Say Goodbye.
Whilst making work for the Occurrences series I also began making black and white images which recorded natural occurrences such as light, tone, texture, pattern and shape. I began making small collections of these images and continued to make these images periodically throughout the summer and autumn of 2005 towards the end of the year I compiled a sequence of around 25 images into the book 'When I See a Leaf Fall I Always Say Goodbye...' The original book is handmade and softbound, however have begun to re-craft it with the intention of making it pubicly avaliable during the later half of 2010.
