About ‘Apheleia ‘:
In the effort to let go o f the human obsession for order and rhythm, I le a d myself adrift in the big wide world . This series is both an introduction and a return to the simplicity held in the country town life . Confronting myself with the form that underlies this vast chaos, I hope to document the freedom of the commonplace.
Where there is no place to go and there is nothing to become. The being – ness of human freedom. In Greek mythology, Apheleia was the spirit and personification of ease, simplicity and primitivity in the good sense, “the good old days”.
