Vessels
Vessels (2015) explores the notion of off-kilter within the projection of light and water reflection captured in the Aquarium. The video was projected in a small room onto one wall with a bench close in front for the viewer to sit and immerse themselves in the moving image. This was inspired by Gaston Bachelard's book, The Poetics of Space, especially his ideas on immensity. Bachelard uses the word immensity to describe the vastness of intimate spaces induced by the poetic image, “Immensity is within ourselves. It is attached to a sort of expansion of being that life curbs and caution arrests, but which starts again when we are alone. As soon as we become motionless, we are elsewhere; we are dreaming in a world that is immense.” Developed for installation in the group exhibition Hot '15, Room 101, Plymouth University, Plymouth.
