All of the works in this exhibition refer to the idea of looking.
From images of people looking up, to images of people looking down; from men on the telephone to women on the telephone. Then there’s a puzzle-box with a snapshot of to a person looking at a view mounted above a snap looking at a person in front of a view. There are collages of photographs of people seen from behind, sitting atop the backs of photographs. This exhibition is a collage of otherwise unconnected images. Some images are found to have nothing in common until they meet. I treat the photo-collection as a medium and position the world as a puzzle. My work seems to say: if only we could find all the pieces, we might solve that puzzle. It’s a folly of course.
