New World is a series of images that suggest a narrative from a minimal array of visual props. Their serial, modular composition suggests endless combinations of similar elements. The stage is set with a patterned curtain and a suggestion of a window. The main character of each scene is represented by a single hand and forearm, pulling back the curtain to glimpse the space outside, which is saturated in strange, other-worldly hues. The images are enigmatic, but we can inhabit them as familiar scenarios: what happens next? Open-ended, the images could be read as apocalyptic, or a new domesticity on another planet.
