CONTEXT:
IF THEY BUILD A WALL, WE CAN build a bridge, 2017
a permanent site specific
photographic installation, 28M x 1M
bentleigh station bridge, centre road Melbourne

description:
the work is about the notion of building bridges
not walls
The new bridge structure on site was once a barrier

I use site-determined digital imagery to locate the viewer within oscillations of physical and digital space

the work looks at ways to negotiate the perimeters, constraints and tension of this architecture

familiarity with the site
inherent abstractions of imagery
enlarged and sampled from the immediate location

The work proposes that the viewer consider what constitutes the occupation of a place, and, who or what imposes potential blocks and barriers, be they either enforced, falsified, occupied, or contained as an artwork, or, as an independent condition existing outside of these lines of separation.

The work suggests larger issues about conflict and division.
