Blockwork is a photographic exhibition by Fiona Little examining the interplay of light, shadow, and geometric form. Using controlled lighting, simple wooden blocks are transformed into stark architectural structures where the negative space becomes as important as the physical object itself. This collection of black and white images invites the viewer to focus on the nuances of texture, tone, and structural balance.
Drawing on over two decades of creative practice, Little presents a quiet but powerful investigation into how we perceive fundamental shapes and forms. Little’s ongoing practice is informed by a fascination with repetitive patterns and the dichotomy between the hand-crafted and the mass-produced. The wooden objects captured in this series combine both found objects and objects created by the artist.
