With Covid-19 restricting access to project participants, I’ve made the most of my time exploring my emotional connection to the spaces I occupy and where/what I see as my personal space. The home is not only where the heart is but also the storehouse of memory and emotions. As such much of my work has been based around parts of my house, home office, bedroom, cellar but also outside spaces, place to escape to.
These images were then combined with shots from the same space, layered up to create a textural representation of the space and objects that make it my personal space.
From here I’ve looked at positioning and selection of images with a view to exhibiting and how the viewer will interact with these images. The concept is that these composite images will be printed large enough for the viewer to be required to step towards the image to view small detailed areas but will also need to step back to view the whole image. this moving through intimate space to view details, personal space to move view around the image to public space (what we also class as social distance) to view the image as a whole.
