STUDIO TOPOGRAPHIES
A series of projects that moved between the material processes of the studio, island fantasies, and idealised landscapes. These works were produced between 2008 and 2012, in some cases for specific sites of exhibition.
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.
Travelling Landscape Objects, 2012
Created as a series specifically for the exhibition Drawing Lines in the Sand on Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour,“Travelling-Landscape Objects” takes its title from the writings of geographer Veronica della Dora.
