Terraform is an in-situ installation-based project that seeks to recreate emotionally charged viewing experiences of so called empty landscapes; places which are often undermined due to their aesthetic consistency and nature in passing, such as a stretch of fields along a highway, or the ocean surrounding a ferry. The project visualises these spaces as areas where emotional projection exists in great abundance, by virtue of their ‘void’ condition.

In an era of ever-increasing urban greed where space is made to be filled, Terraform is a reminder that emptiness is an important background for the orientation of the psyche. The installations have been derived from a survey, whereby the public was invited to alter photographs of a series of empty landscapes. These responses were materialised in 3D and re-situated into their corresponding landscapes, returning these projections to their origin, and emphasising that there is value in these unassuming spaces.
