‘Ellipsism’
2016. Single channel video, 7:19 minutes.
 
Through an exploration of light, Ellipsism looks at illusion. The work echoes life’s constant play between, and blurring of, the micro and macro. It is this confusion and misjudgement of reality that pushes you to emphasise the insignificant things in the world, allowing them to make your heart race.
