Through the use of digital photography, I take images of intimate spaces within the domestic sphere: bedrooms, bathrooms, curio cabinets, bookshelves, refrigerators and the like. By postulating that meaning can be garnered by how people display and arrange their belongings within the constructs of their personal environments, I question the assumptions that we make about people based on their dwellings and suggest that this in turn may say more about ourselves than about them. Further to this, I explore the visual differences of private spaces vs. public spaces within the home, and what we choose to show our visitors and what to hide.
Taken either by photographing the room or objects from the floor to the ceiling, left to right at a one to one ratio or from the stationary perspective of someone standing still and looking around the space, the photographs are printed large and are rendered by digitally combining multiple images to create one composite image. The execution of the photographs coupled with the large format prints are designed to heighten the viewers first person interaction with the objects and rooms being presented.
