“Sense of place can be about a space, a sense of belonging, a geographical point – it can cover many physical forms, yet also many emotions and senses.It could be our home, the place we grew up or where we are right now. It might exist only in our minds” - quote by Martin Parr.

The houses at night - they do offer a language of sense of place, not mine, not yours but the people within those spaces. This then opens a discussion of narrative with myself and others, which then creates an imaginative sense of place.

Inspired by Todd Hido

Shopfronts of Pembrey and Burry Port, the early stages of my project “The non, The Liminal & The Inbetween” where initially the project was meant to take a different lead… but things naturally changed into the deeper understanding of place. Starting from the findings and research of New Topographics and Iconography which then led the places concepts.

From the series “The Non, The Liminal & The Inbetween

The homes and local shopfronts I have photographed don’t necessary agline with the non and liminal concept, but they do offer a language of sense of place, not mine, not yours but the people within those spaces. This then opens a discussion of narrative with myself and others, which then creates an imaginative sense of place.

This concept as well as some of these visuals are inspired by Todd Hido and Richard Page. Both photographers that has influenced my work during this project.

Both non-places and liminal spaces serve a purpose, a purpose of transitional matter but evoke no sense of emotional impact or belonging. However, from the perspective of my individuality and potentially that of others these kinds of spaces/places do, in some way, have an emotional impact on me, bringing a sense of nostalgia, comfort, and even depressive feelings.
Of course, these feelings are personal to me, but surely these types of places, which are generally considered non-places, could hold potential emotional value for other individuals. For example, the steps that are featured are of a liminal space and non-place. They are used for a transitional purpose, and typically there is no emotional or social connection. However, to me, they evoke a sense of nostalgia along with other feelings, reminding me of when I was younger, hanging out and meeting with my friends, drinking nasty energy drinks on some damp, cold steps. This was our space, our sense of place, our safe space. So, in general, a non-place is a non-place, but to some individuals and their personal perception of these spaces/places could serve a completely different sense of that place. Therefore, there is an in-between within these concepts.

From my recent series “The Non, The Liminal & Inbetween” located in the areas of Pembrey & Burry Port.

Both non-places and liminal spaces serve a purpose, a purpose of transitional matter but evoke no sense of emotional impact or belonging… however during my processes I explored some of the theories of place and developed and understanding and discovering of how this can be challenged… the lines inbetween the non and the liminal.

But for now, these are some examples I have photographed that are simply emotionless non and liminal spaces… or are they?

This summers sky has treated us well this year! 🌌✨ Although the Northern lights were only visible through camera it was still magical to see. Even more magical to see both the stars and Northern lights.
