Arch
Manchester School of Art
Manchester, UK, 2009
The space in question was actually a painting studio at Manchester School of Art and the two pieces of wood were off cuts left in during some renovation work. Coming across the space, empty, apart form these two pieces of wood, was enough to start me thinking about possible ways in intervene with the space in such a way as to increase the spectator’s apprehension of spaces.

And so Arch and a whole new way of thinking for me was born.
Once this idea of affecting a space and how people use it was born for me, I began to take more time to consider how people utilise spaces but without really being aware of them. My site-specific installations/interventions are often ways to make anonymous spaces speak for themselves in that, as far as possible I employ pre-existing features of a space which I then define, enhance or exaggerate.
