Cardinals & Latitudes

series of ideological islands and are a reference to the separation between an idealised island landscapes and homemade attempts to reconstruct them. The work comprises photographed constructions made from materials found in the home: from the contents of kitchen cupboards, domestic rubbish and paper ephemera.

The resulting images oscillate between the day-to-day build up of matter and fantasies that attempt to transcend the mundane. They also reflect the conditions of their making: produced in a home ‘studio’, each engagement with the material detritus that accumulated in and around the spaces that they were made, generated different relationships between the stuff of the home and these island illusions.
