Dust, 2012

A body of works creating representations of landscapes from postcards, travel guides and other tourist literature together with dust and grit from the studio floor. The images offer enclosed geographies that sit somewhere between landscapes imagined through a microscope and satellite photographs of earth.

The animation followed the narration of George Bataille’s short text ‘Dust’, (translated by Isabelle Waldberg and Iain White), incorporating postcards from Bournemouth and other sites in Dorset, where the work was originally shown in 2012.
