Dark Room
(mixed media installation)
Solarisation
(35mm black and white photographs developed by hand)

A garden shed is converted into a photographic darkroom in which the electronic equipment – the enlarger and the red safelight – are powered by solar energy captured and stored in batteries. The creation of the darkroom is documented by a series of photographs subsequently developed within it. Though divided by era, the brand new solar panel and the second-hand, analogue, photographic equipment have their own compatibilities. Dark Room manifests interfaces of light and dark, time and space, imagery, technology, energy, natural and human relationships.
