Work
Lorraine works with lens based media, video installation, sound and architectural intervention to explore themes such as the Uncanny in Architecture, the literal, metaphorical and paradoxical treatment of light and darkness and the simultaneous representation of conflicting states of revelation and obliteration. An overall sense of destabilization and disorientation is generated within the architectural, projected and photographic frame.
