about me
I am a London based artist working primarily with photography.
I work with space, time and memory. I investigate how emotional states are influenced by spaces, memories and also by epigenetic inheritance. As someone with a mixed family background of various locations, I have been investigating my sense of belonging and identity all my life.
My use of photography, darkroom printing and materials encorporates alternative methods that encourage chance occurrences. I aim to encompass all the blurriness and out-of-focus, darkness and shadows and light that I encounter in real life. My work contains undefined, open, ambiguous elements as it takes shape in the process of exploring those undefined states.
There is a strong link to architecture and the built environent in my work. In order to define 'home', 'belonging' and 'identity' I work with images that trigger both familiarity and alienation - past homes, abandoned homes, traces of human living, transformed envioronments.
I reclaim photography an artistic tool, looking at how, as an artist, I can bypass the focus on fast, predictable and globally legible results. I search for what isn't obviously visible and what can’t be described in a word or two. The results are often unique, individual pieces.
