‘Blue is the colour of longing for the distances you never arrive in, for the blue world.’
– Rebecca Solnit
A body of work originally developed during a period of wandering, Distances is an impressionistic record reflecting the experience of being between places, and on dissonance around the concept of home. It employs motifs of absence and connection, stasis and flow, in a sequence of photographic textures and vignettes. The work explores the fragmentary nature of photographic meaning and the disparity between memory and record.
