A view through my lounge window - given my "false moonlight" treatment (it's sort-of faux infrared). Leek, Staffordshire

They never knocked. Never spoke. Just stood there—always in the same suits, always facing the same direction, like a memory frozen in the act of forgetting you. You pulled back the curtain, held your breath, and watched. They did not move.
You’re not sure when they arrived. Only that they never left.
Artist Process:
This piece uses sharp contrast and framing to build tension—placing the viewer in the role of the observer, half-hidden behind a caravan window. The color palette leans toward muted autumnal tones, emphasizing the leaf-littered ground and bare trees as symbols of decay and stasis. The repetition of identical suited figures evokes a surreal, uncanny sensation, inspired by dream logic and surveillance culture. The stillness is deliberate—this moment feels like it could last forever, or snap in an instant.

Artist Statement:
Carry-On explores the weight of appearances in a world where identity is curated, not lived. The suited mannequins are stripped of individuality yet asked to bear the symbolic and literal burden of others—expectations, projections, roles. The onlookers are not immune; they are complicit and transfixed, watching a reflection of their own manufactured performances. This piece is about what we carry, what we wear, and what wears us.
