figures to construct images and videos that exist between narrative
fiction and still-life composition. Set in spaces that appear contrived,
and could be described as in themselves sculptural, the photographs
represent a highly controlled, single view point on an installation.
They extract from the elaborately inanimate, a moment of animacy, a
subtle shift between the observation of a figure as form and as active
agent. The figures in the work inhabit their environment like spectral
presences, simulating touch and sensation, engaged deeply in mock
reflection, standing in for the absent and the absent minded. They
provide a vacancy for unselfconscious voyerism, for watching nobody
through the key hole.
