In a recent tutorial, my group were asked to display a collection of objects and images that we had kept for known or unknown reasons. The display was an attempt to explain our interests and to create links between them. As I like to to surround myself with a hybrid of 'things' my collection was split into a few categories, creating my own mini Wunderkammer. The largest category that emerged highlighted my interest in several 'tions'...distortion, fragmentation, transformation, reflection, transition, representation, appropriation. It also emphasised my interest in the movement of the body and the relation it has to the space around it.
