Light in Urban and Suburban Spaces
The work is a study of light and its relationship to time. The natural cycles of sunlight govern the hours, days and seasonal changes as well as our circadian rhythms.
“Not only night and day, but seasonal patterns and climatic variations, began to decline in importance with developments in lighting…and environmentally controlled living spaces.The reign of a non-solar day moved the distinction between the time of work and the time of sleep from the natural order to the political agenda.” (Scott McQuire, 1998)
The natural order and natural world co-exist in our everyday urban and suburban spaces. The high-rise buildings, transport and electric light change our experience of the natural world and reduce our connection to it.
Note: All photographic imagery is created through the camera and camera functions in the moment without post-editing.
