Proxemics

Proxemics comprises both physical object - a four meters diameter circular prop made from used cloth - and photographs documenting the performance of the prop as it interacts with the landscapes of space, place and human form.

As part of an ongoing investigation, this project questions how we define and re-define our relationship to self and place: too much of our personal space engulfing us when we are isolated, or the lack of it as it when it is cast aside, something abandoned through confinement. The work toys with ideas around the personal, the protective, that which is within our control and, at the same time, that which is uncontrollable, elusive and unreliable.
