The windows of domestic spaces in dense, shared urban environments act as visual thresholds: telling sites of collision between anonymity and exposure. Unremarkable by day and finding a balance between the needs for natural light and privacy, their uniformity is occasionally punctuated by small signs of interior lives. As darkness falls a transformation occurs. Against a nocturnal backdrop they become beacons, emitting a soft glow charged with warmth, intrigue and ambiguity. Human presence is strangely described by fields of saturated colour, elusive shadow and inexplicit form, hinting at what may lie beyond the veil.
Hopefully this work gives form to a broader meditation on the nature of disclosure and concealment, and also on our relationship with the intangible.
