Hold-up has combined a selection of images from two related bodies of work completed during 2003 and 2004. The work explores the sensation of being adrift as a circumstance of buoyancy and trepidation. Doubt pervades the meaning derived in these photographs which is never overt in either concept or form.

A cargo container is situated within a series of landscapes with indistinct horizons. There is an unnerving formality and sterility to the image Human Movement given that it alludes to human content. There is nothing to identify the location of these landscapes and they suggest a position of anywhereness. The experience of being adrift can be one of dislocation but also invites conditions where identity can be manifold. hold-up explores situations of containment and escape, safe-havens and intercepted passage, and circumstances of fear and desire.
