Written In The Light is an exploration of light and the way it moves through the space of day to day life. Specifically within one Queenslander house. The work captures and extends the seemingly unimportant moments in life.
Light has a transient presence, just like the intermittent parts of our lives which weave together the milestones and significant moments. This is a contradiction; without our rhythms, and quiet moments we would never realise our milestones. Light too is rhythmic, it is reliably methodical and symbolically represents the beautifully ordinary moments of day to day life.
The home is commonplace, it is the place where we live our most intimate moments, where memories are made, and remain. The solidity of the structure is forcibly changed, weathered and scarred by the people who live within it. This is the story of a singular building. It is a rental property now, but has been standing since before the Second World War. Many lives have lived within the walls of this house, and have left behind evidence of their inhabitancy. At the time it was my house, I told the story, and I am apart of the story.
