My most current work involves the use of time-based medium, exploring non-narrative time, empty spaces, stillness and in-between states. My subject matter is light, air and water, initially working with images of sky and clouds as a way of exploring the juxtaposition between the void and the fullness: looking at, and highlighting, the subtle changes that appear, dissolve and are absorbed into the continuous temporal moment, and therefore a continuous loss. My enquiry through nature has led me to look at 'life' that is held in air or water as a way of searching to represent the illusion of infinite suspended states. This could be compared to what the Haiku poets describe as 'sabi': "The lonely quality that each thing has in its singular existence, when observed from a state of detachment."
