Charting the Invisible
Rebecca Locke (New York) and Sayed Hasan (Lincoln)

up to where I am (Working title)
Rebecca Locke and Sayed Hasan explore the theme ‘Charting the Invisible’ by reflecting on places they have lived. Having compiled a list that charts the towns and cities they have resided throughout their lives, they allude to the often hard-to-predict routes one takes in life. For both UK-born artists, the works are biographical and couched in wider discussions of home and migration, ties to elsewhere and circumstance.

Using the immediacy of their present home spaces as a canvas to display their journeys, the works stare out at the routes which have led them to the present moment and ponder the future. The works contain the presence of a window (onscreen or off), and familiar objects including furniture and family heirlooms, often brought from place to place, allude to a sense of home.
