Always 'there'
The work is driven by a fascination with the issue of our ‘Being here’; of our awareness of ourselves as existing ‘within’ the world.
always ‘There ’ is a large-scale video projection immersing the spectator in a virtual world of movement through the urban landscape. A superimposed coloured ‘dot’ or map-marker becomes the hypnotic and constant presence or reference point throughout this exploration.
Distorted projection screens form a temporary architecture, installed to disrupt the viewer’s journey, forcing them to negotiate and become acutely aware of their own passage through space and time.
At once both playful and unnerving, the artist’s concern is to evoke an intensified awareness of self and environment using contrasting materials to disrupt/reorganise everyday spatial relationships.
