On Sight, Off Sight Artwork, 2023
Shown at the closing event of Amass Collectives' Aftermath - Asylum Art Gallery, based in the West Midlands. The materials used to suspend the photographs (e.g., wool, cable ties), questions the translation of material items in the photographs (e.g., the blankets depicted in one photo), into gallery spaces with industrial characteristics that was once a disused space. There is also a dimension of off-site work being brought into the space, juxtaposed with works created on-site. ‘On Sight, Off Sight’, is a pun to explore the eye sight of photography, and is transferred onto something that's three-dimensional; even becoming something that's harvested for digital consumption away from the physical site.
