There are links between my three-dimensional abstract sculptures and my collages and photographs. The images are of deserted public spaces.
The layering of the images and text in these collages creates a depth of perspective. I used Risograph, a stencil duplicator, to reproduce fragments of my photographs of overlooked spaces such as stairs, landings and escalators. I created the collages by assembling fragments of these photographs with parts of my parents’ hand-written love letters, interspersed with blocks of contrasting yellow and black.
Like my sculptures, these are assemblages of contrasts, reflecting my overarching themes of paradox, relationships and mortality.
