About

I am interested in the power of photography to expose and transform the mundane. In particular my work is

concerned with our changing environment, where the processes of civilisation are seeping into the natural rhythms of

the planet. I use photography as a means of bringing into focus spaces such as scrap yards and construction sites,

the in-between points which are often forgotten, yet crucial to civilisation.

I am currently using a method of digital photo- collage , blurring the boundaries between real and fantasy. My

methods reference the painted landscape, which has historically been used as ameans of re-framing nature that

overwhelmed. I take inspiration from this idealised and often romanticised vision of the world, but aim to create an

incongruity between reality of the subject and surface beauty of the image. I don't intend to make polemic

judgements, but provoke questions about the rate of man- made development and the implications for the future.
