Port series




In Port Series (2012) I was interested in exploring how far I could see into the distant horizon, based on my height above sea level. I wanted to layer this experiment in distance and vision with New Zealand’s nautical territorial boundaries. Using a combination of mathematic formulae, elevation and proximity to city port sites, the work became an exploration of both visual perception and state territory.
