Fear Of The Dark

 

This body of work explores the way fear and anxiety motivates our lives and investigates how fear is hard-wired into the human psyche to help them survive and thrive.

In nocturnal images made in one town in Northern Ireland, investigates the current disputed transition from the traditional warm-coloured sodium vapour lamps to the new “whiter” LED lamps. In seeking out the spots where the old light meets the new, I found quiet corners that spoke to the overall tension felt in that small community. Although in the context of world news, this story might seem futile. The idea that changes made to our own personal space and communities no matter how small can have an impact on our own psychological and sociological wellbeing.
