which physical space is utilised. In a time where space is viewed as a luxury
rather than a need, largely by those who profit of off it, what is it actually

This ongoing body of work attempts to explore the way in
which physical space is utilised. In a time where space is viewed as a luxury
rather than a need, largely by those who profit of off it, what is it actually
being done with this luxury?
Initially focusing on an old farmland space that previously
served as a working and educational site, the images capture the landscape and
its dilapidation. We see that state of the wastage- of the physical space and
the things in it. By photographing on sunny days and editing in a way not dissimilar to those that might
be used in advertising campaigns, a juxtaposition between what we see and the
tone of the images is formed.
This body of work is intended to be extended to other places
in similar states; uninhabited housing, old buildings, rural areas in a neglected state, industrial
buildings no longer used. Why do we waste the potential of these spaces?
