There is a distinct visual pattern of grids flowing through my imagery that reminds me of tiling. This has led me to think about other structural patterns that we use every day such as bricks and flooring and whether it would be possible to integrate these systems into imagery.

There was a long conversation at work this week about ghosts and Chinese superstitions. The building I work in is apparently haunted and students have claimed to have been possessed during lessons and have never come back. I don’t know what to make of this, perhaps we are just bad teachers. However it did get me thinking about the history of buildings and the notion that there is a third party watching at all time – not just Big Brother.

I then began to think about walls and using digital technology to create the effect of life watching from behind the walls. Walls have eyes and ears so to speak. I then went back to my Cambodian wall reliefs, people through the ages have used art to show beliefs, myths and to protect. People in walls. A very common phenomenon of the haunted house are eyes moving in a painting.

Myself in a wall – Just playing!
