Something blue
​
Single channel, split-screen video installation of cyanotype contact prints of still life photography with Satin bowerbird mating calls soundscape 5:18 mins. (Installation includes floor scattered cyanotype photograms from found objects) 

Something blue draws parallels between the mating rituals of the Satin Bowerbird males who collect and display blue objects to attract a mate, and humans who have adapted to online dating and use images to attract a mate. Instead of using images of our physical appearance, what if we only use images of our belongings that reflect our identity, beliefs, and emotions.
 
If you were to use a dating app, instead of using a photo of your face, what one object would you choose to represent you? This is the question I asked the online community in an anonymous survey. I selected 25 responses and interpreted, sourced and photographed the items to use in the video, together with 25 items that I selected.
 
Each image is a response to another in these hypothetical conversations that explore how we interact and seek tactile connections in an increasingly non-tactile dating world, and questions what our possessions express about us.
