GOING BANANAS

By  Sam Haynes 2024

Having spent my earlier years creating site specific public artworks, working with fabricators and the wider community, photography is a liberating process. No risk assessments, time plans or budget breakdowns, just found objects and materials and a playful, intuitive process. Still embracing that element of surprise, colour and light animate these temporary assemblages, presenting a fixed perspective while giving an enlarged perception of scale, allowing the everyday object to be both elevated and celebrated.
