Project Overview

Drift is a multimedia project developed through an ongoing engagement with the artist’s street photography archive, combining new and existing work, through a process of return and reflection.
A further engagement, which photography allows, is core to this project. The artist reworks photographic material, allowing new relationships to form between images. Lino printing, in particular, offers a way to physically layer one image over another, creating a conversation between the original photograph and its reimagined form.
Drift emphasizes repetition and return rather than a fixed or linear narrative.
