Early on in the year I started by looking into Liminal Space as a possible theme for my Practice for this module. I started out by making images of spaces that were uncanny, strange, confusing and odd places whilst reading about Liminal Spaces on the web.
Some of my research that I found when investigating my Practice around Liminal Spaces and my Contextual essay on Atmosphere in photographs.
Research post on Liam Wong and how he has influenced my work on Liminal Spaces, night time, darkness and photography this year.
