This photographic method of collecting, sorting, and classifying is a reflection on the scientific processes employed to fight the pandemic. These analytical processes are visualized in grids, bar graphs, and other references to visual methods of displaying quantitative information.
The recurring theme of repetition also reflects the tedious nature of many of the life changes we have had to endure. Within these groupings, fresh insights emerge. The subtle differences reveal beautiful variations as the eye tunes into this minimal landscape.
Using a detached, documentary style offers an opportunity for viewers to reflect on the quiet moments as well as the irony of working together by staying apart.
Extended gallery hours on Saturday 18 November from 11am – 7pm.
