Although the space is intimate, the effect when looking through
the viewfinder is one of immensity. I am interested in form and
scale and in the inter-relationships of objects in any given space.
I am facinated by how we seem to always find ways of creating intimate
spaces for ourselves which are usually filled with objects, as if
the objects themselves provide the intimacy we seek.
Through
its presentation Ex Libris also brings viewers into intimate
physical proximity with the work. This shifts the spectator away from
the traditional viewing stance of standing back and looking straight
ahead. Viewers must approach, bend at the waist and look through the
view-finder to access the interior work.
