In-Residence
During my first stay at Briefield in April, I cycled round the areas.  Found near by town Nelson's library for local & cotton mill history in the area. Had the delux tour of Briefield mill, saw the spooky basement, the heights of the clock tower, canals and water, water everywhere.  I was searching for dark chambers and dark spaces that would let me experiment with the various lenses I had accumulated and investigating light sources I had found within the Mill spaces.

​Investigated possible means of constructing a mobile camera obscura tent that may easily transported and set up in Mill and in local Briefeild area.

​Dark spaces in lifts, cupboards, storage rooms, under stairs.
 ​Using the camera obscura is a way of revealing a moving image outside in the world, while inside the camera. The animated images projected onto the interior surface are images that are both upside down and back-to-front.   This is in fact just the way our eyes record what we see in the world, of reflected light on our retina, up side down and back-to-front.
Our extraordinary brains can account for this and makes sense of this; rights this ‘back-to-front & upside-down- ness’ so we see the world the way we experience it.
In a way the camera obscura reveals the working of our brain.
