My work explores the simple intricacies and uncertainties of being human. It is rooted in connections between lived experience, photographic practice and contemporary scientific theory and research.
My recent project, Illusions of Self, uses the rooms and possessions in my mother’s home to explore the ways in which our essence transcends our bodies, to reach into and inhabit places, objects and other people in the unfolding deterioration and gradual dissolution of the unoccupied house.
The companion photomontages explore ways in which traces of seen, unseen and hidden selves can come to inhabit us, coalescing in momentary and persistent fusions, melancholic speculations and darker agitations.
Other works such as Landscape memories and Found light draw on and reexamine objects, places and archival material to explore the possibilities of other meanings and ways of seeing.
The works are an expression of the ways that photographic multimedia can absorb and frame aspects of the self as well as function more broadly as material objects.
