The apple I would never eat
'The apple I would never eat' is an ongoing project. An elegiac, autobiographical, location-based love story made in response to the untimely death of my dog Nancy. Facing death, Nancy's death, mortality, my own, investigating memory, the uncanny, what is left behind, traces, looking for ghosts, just the one ghost, examining liminal spaces and times, time, and the idea of an afterlife, a life after. To date, I have photographed traces of her existence, performed and recorded rituals, found comfort in the uncanny, returned over and over again to a path she always insisted on walking, made temporary sculptures out of, and photographed, her belongings before storing them away, and have looked for, and found, her face in the clouds.
