This body of work engages me on two levels. Firstly, it reveals so much about the uneasy relationship we have with the world around us. Our disconnect or separation to nature in the name of progress. Secondly, I am very conscious of the emotions I experience when making this work at night. Melancholic feelings of loneliness and longing when I consider these roadways slickly whisking night time travellers away to (what for me is) the unknown. These images become manifestations of these feelings. I am also conscious of the contradiction of being a voyeur – that I’m not a familiar part of the landscape and that I don’t participate within the surroundings I choose to photograph.
