A liminal space can be broadly described as a space of transition. Central to the aesthetics of imagery depicting these spaces is the decontextualisation of the familiar via absence and subtraction. Stripped of the objects and entities that experientially define them, their texture and form are accentuated, and intimacy and alienation are superposed.

Informed by liminal space imagery, my work seeks to capture wider impressions of the noumenal world ; depicting spaces and forms that are exterior to our standard experience and perception, and allude to the unknowable, inaccessible, and undefined, through the use of ambiguity, symmetry, and placelessness. This is motivated by an attempt to understand my own sense of alienation and unbelonging within our increasingly atomized society.

The work presented here examines dereliction, desolation, and the transient. Environments in states of aftermath and destruction, as well as those defined by waste and exclusion. Abandoned and derelict spaces in particular are a key focus, as, despite being inherently human, within them we are interlopers, intruders into a zone of absence, and aliens to our own world. The antithesis of the internality of loneliness in a crowd, in them, loneliness has form and presence. As spaces, they embody both stasis and change. Viscous with stillness, but marked by time; offering to the visitor a consuming sense of mono no aware (a wistful awareness of the impermanence of things) and revealing that our superficially permanent structures, and the objects we fill them with, are all simply long-lived ephemera.
