UCHI
Uchi (Japanese for home) arose out of a yearning to create a portrait of home: a portrait of its goodness and imperfections, one of feelings, colours, seasons, light, and food. I have wanted to portray my multiple homes through the residue of life that they contain.
I find that my eye is drawn to notice things that are often ignored or looked over. A weed growing through the pavement, the way pegs shimmer on a drying frame when the light hits them. In this body of work I portray the homes that lie behind the detail that it is so intimately involved with; seeking to capture a fragment of the partiality of these homes, as so often this is what remains when the person to whom they relate has gone.
