Towards an End (A)

This work explores, through a series of images, concepts of invasion and boundaries within an urban context through studio photographs of items that have been thrown, wilfully discarded by passers-by, over the artists garden wall. This act reveals something of the personality of the individual rejecting the item both by the act of discarding and the wilful invasion created by it and the object itself. This process of revealing unwittingly creates a shared interaction between two individuals that have never met through a unique object passing from a state of social acceptance to one of rejection.
