Dreaming of china seems an appropriate way to recollect my experiences
there, for, from the moment we descended through the solid white
cloud haze, there was a distinct feeling of entering into another
world, somewhere very different from anywhere I had experienced
before.
This combination of contrary feelings came to typify my experiences
in China. Whenever any sense of what I felt to be 'reality' formed
around me, there would always be something to subvert it, to remind
me that I was somewhere I was completely unfamiliar with.
My subjects are the mundane, everyday occurrences that go mainly
unnoticed. These peripheral instances act as testament to our temporality,
whether they be the mark made by the coffee cup in the breakfast
rush or the piles of rubbish on the pavement that build up and disappear
in continuous cycles. Through the use of these commonplace subjects
I aim to gently subvert the viewers preconceptions of time and reality
and perhaps ultimately to bring about a quiet reawakening of the
senses.
