The Scanner Series

The Scanner Series of images was developed from an earlier artwork that used an ultrasound scanner to generate a series of images. The pink and blue have been added.

On the 30th April 1993 the internet was made public. This artwork and similar artworks in the series ask what difference has this or other monumental global changes had in shaping male and female spaces or ways of approaching issues or areas of conflict. Also to ask what impact has this change made to areas that are not now defined in gender terms. These spaces having been created through social change aimed at reducing areas that are defined as male or female.

The Singularity

The Singularity represents the moment computers reach consciousness. This moment is now very close with predictions that it will be reached by 2029. The idea for the image comes from Sabina Spielrein's work where she often used the example of the sea to explain the unconscious which is below the surface and the conscious above the surface.

The shot was taken with a 360° camera lowered into the sea and colour added to the image to emphasise the momentum upwards to the surface.

The Balcony Series

The Balcony series was inspired by Gustave Caillebotte work “Interior, Woman at the Window” 1880 which shows a man reading a newspaper and a woman at the window. What Caillebotte achieves in this image is to create a sense of isolation between the figures. In the work shown here the sense of isolation between the figures is extended to the scene beyond the balcony of a woodland wildfire.

The shot of the fire is of a real woodland fire and the Balcony was digitally created and layered over the woodland scene.
