Artist Statement:

I was initially inspired by my previous interest in Liminal Space photography as when viewing images that evoke a sense of Déjà vu or a liminal space, I always felt comfortable and familiar with a slight unnerve, however, I do not feel fully in touch with reality if everything is comfortable and familiar around me as life is not that easy so I usually feel at a peace in a place like this by myself. The definition of Liminal Space photography describes it as an ’empty-transition space’ which may seem familiar yet isolating and it evokes uncertainty. I applied this to my brief and aimed to capture this. Some of these photos reflect a place that at a time may have seemed different back then and seeing now induces comfort and nostalgia, it almost provokes that although I have changed and grown as a person, these places ultimately stay the same. Some of these photos reflect places where I feel comfortable and places I pass by often which are familiar. I decided to have one photo with a living entity in it, however, I took the photo so the entity that is in the image is not the sole focus of the image, I feel that I was able to express my photographic ‘voice’.

A desolate playground evoking the memories of a childhood long lost

An Isolated Woodland

A familiar setting, but bare of its usual contents

A familiar inner-city garden setting

Light in the Skies

Eye in the Sky

The Empty Staircase

The Urban Underpass

The Iron Giant

Long, Winding Road

The Other Side

Between Heaven and Here
