There is often
a documentary core in my work as I seek to express something about a place. In
2020 I was wanting to move to more fantastical architecture, and also look
at how this may connect with the trend towards living in our own bubbles. This first piece ended up depicting a sense of
the isolation imposed by Covid lockdown, though a wishful, luxurious version. A
sense of escapism, I suppose. Yet the social distancing of today is something
that has been developing for some time. The digital world has changed how we
interact. Untold Depths is a kind of
projection of how this translates architecturally. I simply find it interesting
to ‘map out’ (and European maps are used in the collage) the extremes in human
habitats, from building perfect islands of isolation to the things that happen as
a result of human habitats.
