In 2012 I situated my installation, ‘RISING UP - RUNNING
OUT, An Exploration of Oil’, in an abandoned automotive workshop. Guy's
Body Shop was a microcosm of a world based on a petroleum economy, now broken. The
economic forces that drive the search for oil were also seeping and leaking,
like rain into the building and it faced imminent demolition.
In 2013 as the heavy machinery moved in, I recorded the end
of Guy's Body Shop, through video and material explorations that respond to the
building, and my carbon fuelled journey.
