Inter+sections:

Inter+sections is a body of work of 150+ roadside crosses that I have been photographing since 2004. My fascination with these icons of disaster began while en route to a shoot on the West Coast Road in the Western Cape. The sheer number of crosses forced my return a few days later to document them. To this day I am still intrigued by these markers of misfortune. Each roadside cross is titled by its GPS co-ordinates; the longitude and latitude lines forming yet another cross, another intersection. Labeling each cross using its precise location gives it a connection to the landscape, and to the place where this life intersects with death.
