Sad bones is a series made using photographs of interiors taken from the archives of Country Life Magazine. The chosen images are from buildings that no longer exist, the work involves carefully setting them alight, and allowing the fire to momentarily animate the spaces as the paper smoulders. Leaving behind a permanent and fragile mark of destruction on the surface.
