Husband and wife found dead in their home. Friends and family are the only connections we have.

Evidence involves you, the detective, decoding 22 pieces of art in order to solve the deaths of Ralph and Samantha White. Using a wide variety of mediums including plasticine, stain glass, carved stone, and found objects, this installation will take the genre of 'visual mystery' from books (eg: The Eleventh Hour by Graeme Base) into the realm of the 3D.


Retrospective Comments
Evidence was the first, and is very special to me. It had a lot of things about it that made it VERY difficult for the poor audience-detectives, but it was great fun making it. I was, and am, very proud that I pretty much did it all by myself, even though a lot of the pieces didn't live up to the standards I had for them.The funny thing about it all is that Evidence was originally going to be a book; 3D objects photographed and compiled into a 2D form. Thank you very much to all those who helped persuade me away from the visual novel I was intending to make - I doubt the current IMMI world would exist otherwise.
