Constructed Landscape

single channel digital projection This work has been created in context of my readings on the subject of the Anthropocene, and my experience at the Millennium Seed Bank in the UK. I wanted to test how I could articulate my ideas of time experienced through my studio practice. Instead of juxtaposing past and present, I wanted to experiment with the concept of the present and future as an alternative way to think about the idea of time-lapse of germinating seeds. I did this by creating a new work-in-progress at the end of 2012, entitled Constructed Landscape. In this work, Time is extended through the slow photographic exploration of an arboretum in its infancy, playing on the idea that these trees will not reach maturity in my own life time.
