Welcome to my website Over a number of years I have established a studio practice in which I use everyday, domestic materials to make ambiguous, psychological landscapes. I don’t digitally manipulate the images, which are still mostly shot on medium format, analogue film. Most of my works are exhibited as large scale prints of 1000mm plus mounted on aluminium. Working in photographic & mixed media paintings I’m interested in the shift of perception found between microcosm and macrocosm, the near and far. I often use close up techniques that use scale to invite considerations around distance and desire. These are quieter, inclusive works that invite emotional involvement, asking us to engage perhaps with something happening in front of us in the images in the here-and-now. The work is informed by my parallel psychology career where I work with assessments that measure risk and resilience in attachment relationships through naming of emotions and a spatial proximity to those who can help us under stress. Upcoming Open Studios & Art Fair
