These images show installations imagined for the gallery at APT.
A juxtaposition of sculptural forms and photos have been arranged in a virtual gallery. The process of playing with images using hand cut collage has enabled me to intuitively invent new installations and ideas, responding to the specifics of the spaces. The images present possibilities for new work, virtual sketches tussling with forms and photos in their embryonic state. Feeling a way forward, and tentatively grasping at meanings: images, forms and materials that resonate for me, all existing in a conglomeration forming a proposition that reflect a personal drama for present times.
