superficial readings
Superficial Readings is an ongoing meditative and observational practice that captures shifts in light and movement during walks along the Tweed River.
The accumulating, image-based data collected from visits to the river becomes a datum: a personal reference point through which emotional and physiological states are registered.
This sustained observation has become integral to making, and it resonates with Roland Barthes' reflections in Camera Lucida, in which photography is approached "not as a question... but as a wound," where "I see, I feel, hence I notice, I observe, and I think."
A selection of these images forms the series On the Surface, in which the river and the body are read in parallel to embody a profound life event.
