RECOGNITION

RECOGNISING THE PLACES THAT SHAPE US

A place begins as material — brick, steel, stone — until people attach meaning to it.

 

Through maps, silhouettes and layered forms, I explore how recognition activates memory and identity.

I’m drawn to the way our personal connections give emotional weight to brick, steel and stone.

 

Places that appear still or ordinary are often layered with memory — moments of joy, protest, belonging, change. What stands physically static can hold powerful human experience.

 

Through RECOGNITION, I focus on buildings, bridges, monuments and mapped spaces that carry this accumulated meaning. I reduce each site to its essential form — isolating outline, structure and spatial logic — so recognition becomes the trigger.

 

For those connected to the place, the work quietly reactivates memory. For others, it exists as line and form — a structure waiting to be understood.

  

Read my 8 part series on the science behind "object recognition" and how my artwork explores and tests the impact of emotional connection on this innate ability.

ABOUT THE ART OF RECOGNITION

If you wanted to learn more about my artwork and intentions behind it, I've recorded a video to help explain.  

I also go into why I go by the name RECOGNITION as well as why I wear a mask.  This makes the video a touch long, so you can also read the blogs I've written about these
