‘Black Skin, White Spaces’
is a self-portrait photographic series exploring how rural Britain is often perceived as a predominantly white space by ethnic minorities. Using performative poses and clothing, the work creates striking juxtapositions with the landscape to evoke feelings of alienation - serving as metaphors for broader racial issues and the concept of ‘White Spaces’.
The title references Frantz Fanon’s 'Black Skin, White Masks' and Elijah Anderson’s theory of ‘White Space’, both of which deeply inform the work.
