Mesmerising and other worldly, Inversion #5 challenges our perception of a beach landscape. The work inverts our view of a familiar scene and allows a reconsideration of time and space. I am interested in collapsing and expanding plane and perspective. My practice explores non-linear perception through spatial enquiry – remapping the spaces I inhabit and move through in my daily routine. Inversion #5 presents a meditative and embodied experience of location. The rhythmic movement of the ocean is bordered by stillness in blushing and disruptive colour.
