Statement:
'A House and a Red Sun' continues an on ongoing fascination with the suburban landscape, its architecture, and the spaces between. Using these themes, I explore and convey concerns about isolation and exclusion, class and identity. 'A House and a Red Sun' pushes the emotional response of being in the presence of darkness and a surreal notion of the physicality of absence. A house is shown under dark skies inhabited by a sun. Each aspect, separately, in isolation, 'make sense', nothing has changed. Combined, things are not right, everything has changed.
