PERCEPTION, INVENTION, IMAGINATION. 2014
Looking at the experience of built space as being a fusion of perception, invention and imagination, the work investigates the subconscious experience of space and where it merges with its physical reality. The disruptions in perception allow the possibility for the mind to invent what we see.
I construct spatial relationships that contain particular sensory cues such as references to human scale and suggestion of functionality in order to trigger expectations of the built environment. Playing with tensions between interior and exterior, flat and form, the recognisable and the ambiguous, the work is an attempt to create an experience of discovery that shifts the viewer between a physical perception and an imagined experience of spatial interactions.
