Ghost Town, 2015
Ghost Town creates a series of lonely manufactured landscapes taking place in a fabricated flooded town. The series relates to my childhood depression, by creating an endless suffocating landscape that swallows its surroundings. The dark water splits the scene into two separate planes and obscures certain details to remove context. The missing details move the images into an endless existence, there is no explanation of how the scenes began, and no clues that they will necesarily end. By doing this, it feels constant, as if it is something that has always existed, and clouds the perception of time.
« There’s definitely an inherent beauty in emptiness, and a curiosity in seeing how other people lived. Abandoned houses create this fragmented portrait of the people who used to live in them through whatever they left behind. It’s really interesting to piece things together and learn about them through that.”
