STOPPING THE WORLD

​

2020–2021

​

The world stopped.

​

Almost overnight, the familiar arrangements of life fell away. Time loosened, routines dissolved, and the ordinary began to feel strangely unfamiliar.

​

By chance, I had just changed camera systems. A new brush, arriving at the very moment the world I knew was disappearing.

Out of that displacement came an unexpected energy. I photographed, painted, followed small disturbances of light and form, often without knowing where they might lead.

Something had begun.

​

Only later would I recognise it as the first movement towards Making the Moon.
