Architecture of Waiting
As an artist I have always been alive to the messages our built environments convey. In this series of photographs, gathered under the banner of waiting, my interest is to decode these messages to reveal meaning embedded in the facades, streetscapes, interiors and empty people-less spaces. Places of worship, retail, health, education and housing all enable a deeper conversation to occur where the intangible aspects of our world emerge. Mental health, the environment, first nation identity and the incremental loss of the vernacular to homogenous form is some of what is revealed. Wilful invention, playful repurposing, analogue/digital dynamics are also evident. Extracted from their context and rendered with great care, my intention with this series is to realign the values we normally associate with the iconic and in so doing propose a new order of appreciation to understand the world and celebrate the complex heritage of the commonplace we see all too rapidly vanishing.
