Installation Ia - Tranquility.
|
The Viewer enters a large, darkened hall.
The Viewer is immediately struck by the deep silence made possible through sound absorbing insulation and white noise.
The hall is dimly lit from above in shifting, but constantly angled, diagonal beams of green and blue light.
A mist of dry......Read More

Installation 2a - Paranoia.
|
The Viewer steps into a well lit point before a large screen in an open urban space. The screen is flat but angled forward at a menacing angle.
The view point, or stage, is the focus of an intense, industrial soundtrack producing acoustic isolation.
The Viewer's image is projected on......Read More

House.
|
This old house encloses me like a biscuit tin of keepsakes and ribbon-wrapped, faded letters.
Here, however, there are no more keepsakes, only the memories of them, concealed behind stone-cold walls, sagging floors and rich, ancient wallpapers shed gradually in fits of dampness.
Through......Read More

Sunrise.
|
It is early; far too early.
The world outside my balconey door is dull, denuded of colour and flat in the grey, pre-dawn. The sky is heavy and threatens forecast rain. It looms low, the colour of gunmetal and old wounds.
My cigarette flairs red. Held, with shaking fingers to my lips,......Read More

Omen.
|
The sun hangs luminous at it's apex in the bright, cloudless, azure sky of a fall morning. Its rays fall, warming, on the back of a man, a sac of shopping slung carelessly over the shoulder of his black jean jacket, and his shadow, in sharp focus on the grey, cement sidewalk, slouches along......Read More

Neighbourhood.
|
Daybreak in my neighbourhood is heralded by the shattering impact of a gunshot. Its sound ricochets off nearby buildinqs and sets car alarms blaring in the otherwise relative calm early morning. Soon the wail of police sirens throngs nearer along the busy throughfare that rumbles with......Read More

Horseman, the third: Famine.
|
Please read the two previous 'Horsemen': I and II .
I am the third, a sunken-eyed vision,
my touch is a blight on the land;
I burn like the sun, unwavering in my mission -
unstoppable as a singing dune's sand.
Vast......Read More
