my head is too heavy
2020-ongoing

This project is still developing. 
Using LiDAR scanning apps on my smartphone, I create virtual models of myself and the space that I exist in. The gaps in information, the distortions and inaccuracies all point at the limitations of photographic seeing. They also act as pointers to the invisible symptoms that define my day to day life as I come to terms with a newly acquired chronic illness.

Note on the process: These images are screen captures of the 3D models that are then printed as archival inkjet prints. Current scale is 24 inches on the long edge.
