As an artist, my work explores the intricate relationship between place, time and identity. I am striving to create a a discourse by which the public, private, past and present can converse with one another to provide a well-rounded understanding of one’s experience and scale of perception.
During my artists residency on the Isle of Eigg, I have delved into the concept of the spatial temporal. Immersion into the community has given me a deeper understanding of the elements shaping our lives, living spaces and landscapes. The totalising effect of the Island gave me the opportunity to delicately examine the personal, sensory and historical aspects of identity alongside my experience of the wider landscape and community.
Using photography as my main medium for documenting this experience, I digitally manipulate and layer images of my work to visually articulate the complexity of identity formation. This technique merges different sections of my auto-ethnographic journey and represents the overlapping elements which have informed the present context.
By presenting a visual metaphor of interwoven layers and textures, I aim to invite viewers to a deeper reflection on how their experiences have shaped and re-shaped an understanding of themselves and of their surroundings.
