My recent work considers shared spaces and reflects on what my inhabiting the space means. Through contemplating the historical importance of a familial gathering place, namely a cottage built in the 1950s, I look to how routines, aesthetic and purpose define the location to me. I am interested in documenting some of the subtle shifts of change over the years which is inevitable in a communal space. I often find myself considering the interior spaces and their relation to the natural landscape beyond. There is a constant back-and-forth between the two, and I can’t help but reflect on my existence in relation to my community and to nature itself.
These pieces are all hand-cut photographs. I begin with a printed photograph, and physically cut the silhouette of a second image into the first for a double exposure-like effect.
