Shadow Play (2010-16)

‘Shadow Play’ explores the concept of gestalt as applied to a network of cognitive processes through which we perceive the world. By means of extreme manipulation of focus, scale and figure/ground relationships, images of ordinary subjects are distorted and rendered semi-abstract, encouraging manifold interpretations. By deliberately subverting standard photographic conventions and thus potentially disorienting the viewer, the work invites a visceral engagement that transcends the merely visual.
