The purity of shape and the absence of place has become a strong theme throughout Chloe’s work.
Whilst exploring the estates she grew up around, she began to photograph the blandness of the architecture. The identity-less forms began to overwhelm the images, filling the frame, their surroundings obsolete. The removal of any identifying qualities to the images became Chloe’s main fixation, creating a place without a name.
In some ways the work echoes the architecture onto which it is made, reflecting the flat-pack style housing with its incessant emptiness and Chloe’s obsessive removal of anything other than the shape itself.
It is an exploration of form, ruled by a neurotic demand to empty the image of self.
