This series explores the curious landscape of the desert. I recently had the opportunity to travel to the Arabian desert and was struck by the perpetual anonymity of the dunes – ever-changing and unique in transience; a challenge to navigate. And amongst the shifting sands, poised to capture it's unique architecture, I was standing amongst a drift, buffeted by wind, and sand that was in transit to the next temporary place. I took some peculiar reassurance that my location in that place at that time would be coded into my images via metadata – a stamped date, time and GPS location that could map the site and help to make sense of it. Both meaningless and meaningful, this data provides another way of experiencing the place, reminding us that it exists, with it's particular qualities, in a very specific place and time on the planet, situated within a broader landscape that in turn has it's own data. The landscape images alone tell us something about the place – the temporary architecture of the dunes sculpted by the wind; the play of light along the undulating lines; the vastness of the dunes. But I wanted to address the location itself from a geographic and meteorological perspective, and reveal real data about the location. Having access to the metadata from the digital file allowed me to access reasonably accurate records about the conditions on the day each image was taken. This series indulges my curiosity about places, and acknowledges the various factors that contribute to a place: how it is situated; how and when it is revealed by daylight, or hidden in shadow by night, and what conditions it is has been exposed to that day. These factors impact on how the site was experienced at the moment of capture – and on reflection post capture.
