The Liquid Showdowns
My work can be described as large modern still-lives, focusing on narratives behind the idea of 'lost and found'. Over time, the Regent's Canal waterway became a fascinating element of my surroundings. I’ve been using the process of isolating the discarded objects in an inky void which gives them a new meaning by capturing this odd and unique moment where they are out of their usual context, drifting unrealistically in a dark flow. The images are suspended in moments of uncertainty, leaving sensations of calm. The obvious confrontation of two different worlds appears. When nature suddenly encounters urbanity, it creates a confusing space. It is a combination of an entirely pure element with its own wildlife in direct breakdown with the products of mankind, which makes it a poetic, hybrid territory.
