Diptychs 2019-2021
Presented in pairs, this project is an exploration of surrealism and how our desire to control and order nature can result in designs that draw on natural motifs. This work brings out the irony of subject and imitation inhabiting the same scene. In ‘taking’ a photograph we are in a sense taking possession of the environment; the subjects are flattened and everything presented on a two-dimensional plane. This project plays with the idea of the equalising character of photography using the comparative form of the diptych.
