Fragility is what inspires the core of my image making, the main thread that binds. The fragility of everything we experience. This fragility does not need to be obvious but is present in the themes of the work. Fragility is a ‘constant space’, the space between reality and what could be.
Looking below the surface, looking into to what lies behind the ‘first’ layer we see, that which is hidden when not thought of. It is trying to expose the subtleties which lie within this zone. It is a process of subtlety.
Fragility is the opposite of hardness, it is not solid, it is brittle. Within this brittle state, this layer, lies the potential to become aware of vulnerability, the impermanence of existence. My interest (visually) is to create a ‘space’ for fragility to have a clearer presence.s but is present in the themes of the work.
