An exploration of cultural memory, preservation and our emotional connections to societal artefacts, depicting the fading icons of our modern timescape and instilling viewers with a sense of delight and comfort within our busy modern society. Urban Vignettes are a glimpse into small unexpected moments found in our familiar residential settings, the elegant erosion of man-made constructs and nature’s perseverance within metropolitan environments. Addressing nostalgic feelings of home, familiarity and community, I express the accidental beauty present in unassuming places and challenge our perceptions of progress.
