Topographouse series

Mixed media, digital print on cotton paper from an old album | 2023 - 2024

Through a repetitive act of dismantling and erasure on press photographs of destruction collected from the internet, voids and fragile contours were exposed until topographic diagrams of a house emerged.
The series of six topographies was printed in a 30X39 cm format, on thin, translucent cotton paper originally used to protect photographs, removed from old family photo albums in the artist’s personal archive.


This series was developed as part of the Human Shield project. Read more about the work
and its development in the Human Shield project page and The Human Shield Solo exhibition page.
