'Distance' -2019
“There is perhaps no better a demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.”
Carl Sagan in Time magazine, 9 January 1995, describing the Pale Blue Dot image of Earth, taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft 6 billion kilometres away.
I relish in thinking about distance - whether it is measured or conceptual, undertaken or planned. These pieces of work are my journey into extrapolating why I am intrigued by it. My paintings are the result of research into the exploration by others; my photographs are moments where I have discovered 'distance’ during my own exploration.
