Inner Textures II
Artist Statement
INNER TEXTURES II is the concept for an interactive intallation that brings the images of Part I in 3D form. By touching them, the public will shape the works, leaving traces through copper oxidisation. Touching them will then over in return an eerie soundscape, changing as the shapes are traced.
This project remains conceptual for now. If you are a chemist or a sound designer, please get in touch so we can bring this to life.

Artist Statement
INNER TEXTURES I is a two-part series of photographs taken during the pandemic. My then place of work imposed tax related restrictions to working from another country, meaning I simply could not. This kept my family and I apart for 18 months.
Walking through the park closest to me, observing textures in nature, I took comfort in how it resonated with how I felt inside, grating isolation, entangled confusion and an unspeakable grief for all that ceased to be.
Returning to the images later, through the Dialogues project, I found they also resonated with how I perceived the experiences of my project colleagues. They became a lens that enabled connection, safety and a thread of hope for new things to come.
Isolation, confusion and grief sometimes need only a witness.
