Do You Want to Come Home?
12am, 3am, 6am, 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm
My work explores ideas of public and private, and the continuous struggle to understand what this means to me.
How much do I really want to let people in? 12am, 3am, 6am, 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm is a photographic diary, I began by taking a photograph every 3 hours, as I believed this would show real insight into my life. In ways it does, it is liberating to invite ‘chance’ to play a part within the process. However, I feel that the moments captured within the photographs are obscured by the limitations I established at the beginning.
Do you want to come home? is the embroidered words and messages sent between family members, revealing more about what is going on inside my head than I thought I would share. It charts a personal journey to deal with the conflicting emotions I have about my own sense of belonging and home. In a way I am consistently at odds with change, and use my art practice to comprehend this.
