Creating something beautiful out of something that can usually never be seen.

This display is a collection of images from a chapter in the second book (Disruptions, Reminders & Interventions) entitled When Did That Happen. Retracing the Forgotten Everyday. Every action we do helps us to build up an understanding of the surrounding environment – often the significance of these actions is repressed or completely forgotten.

These installations retrace the learning through interaction that occurred in our homes as we were growing up. These everyday processes help to establish some of the most fundamental actions that our bodies perform – and will carry out thousands of times throughout our lifetimes. A tangible visual record of something so critical, yet often overlooked is created, providing a constant reminder that we have the ability to physically affect our surroundings.
