2016 - Present
Found photographs, newspaper clippings, found objects, cast steel, timber, perspex
Strata (More Gaps Than Fact) is an ongoing archival project investigating the structures and constraints of the archive,
both in its use of display mechanisms and its construction of, or
allusion to, history and knowledge. Marxist theorist David Harvey argues
that a key function of capitalism is what he describes as “accumulation
by dispossession” and John Tagg uses this terminology to describe the
inherent power structures ingrained in the archive and the photographic
medium itself. Working from this area of interrogation, this archive will be used to examine our continually shifting and mediated understanding of the
material, economic and ecological flows of industrial production and the
natural world.
