To date I have dealt with the depiction and (de-)construction of space and spatial structures and with our perception of spatial realities. One artist I am very interested in is Jennifer Williams. Her sculptural installations transform space through the use of large-scale, multi-layered, photographic compositions, creating dizzying, immersive representations of change. The work crawls across walls, floors and ceilings, describing the physicality of change at a gut level. Describing neighbourhoods overrun with new construction, it shows both the monumental scale of rising capitalist interests and the shrinking perspective of the individual citizen.
Reflection:
Other than photography, what art forms and creative media do you take inspiration from?
How have you directly drawn from non-photographic disciplines to develop your practice?
How would you describe the distinctive, essential qualities of photography? Are any of these characteristics the reason for you choosing it as your means of expression?
