Interview ”With architecture and light you can create a sense of ‘a holy place’ Preserved History “Casual snapshots of a freestanding wall at the medieval Cloister Marienhage were sent to me as a potential site for my consideration. What I found intriguing about these images was that the monastery seemed to be undergoing restoration at the time the pictures were taken, there appeared to be piles of dirt strewn about. This made me consider the relationship between the “historic” wall and the overturned ground that it was standing on. Here, in these snapshots, the “ruin” stood as a modest wall surrounded by dirt. Nothing monumental, but obviously in the process of being positioned to hold its history. In my mind, I simply covered the ground with snow and shone a brilliant light onto the wall, creating a high-contrast sculptural image in my head”. Architecture and light “As a tourist, I am often drawn to visit beautiful churches. Not out of a religious desire but intrigued by the ability for architecture and light to be used to create a sense of a ‘holy’ place. My offering here is a modest way of reflecting on this human practice”. Frozen frame “My work is connected to my body, to how I experience everyday life. I do not consider myself to be an artist who uses light, but I have always paid attention to shadows and the passing of daylight. In this installation, the light and the wall are static and the viewer can choose to enter the frozen frame”.
