A Light Left On

A series made in Norway in winter, on medium format and 35mm colour film. The photographs move through a landscape where darkness arrives early and stays, collecting the light that persists in it: windows, doorways, the ordinary structures that hold warmth against the cold.

These images were made across Norway during winter. They are not interested in the spectacular. They look instead at the unremarkable light that survives in the dark: a farmhouse window, an open barn door, a petrol station standing alone in the snow. Shot on medium format and 35mm colour film, the work moves between the intimate and the indifferent. A house that glows from inside suggests life without revealing it. A public toilet illuminated in blue twilight holds the same formal weight as a manor house by the fjord. The series is interested in shelter as a fact, and in what the light inside it communicates to whoever is outside, looking in.
