Equinox to Eqnuinox (2021-2022)
Equinox to Equinox is a six-month project that spanned from September 2021 to February 2022. A period of six months, coinciding with Equinoxes (changes in the sun’s path on the horizon) where I logged each photograph I took and each diary entry I took. These diaries and photographs turned into an archive from which I would make work from. After each month, I would write a haiku influenced by that month’s diary entries. This project was documentary, but deeply emotional to create, the diary acts as my psychiatrist; a place I can go to without judgement, for someone to just listen.

This was one of the largest pieces of work I have ever made, origianlly an experimental piece, this piece lead me to complete my dissertation about the artist sketchbook/journal/diary.
The question being, 'Am I hiding?'

IBelow: Manipulated scans of my diary on lined paper (2022)
I wanted to experiment further with the idea of hiding the personal truths of the diary. Making texts hardly legible thorugh the digital and manual process of scanning and printing.
