Shifting perspectives with psychology, ambiguity and landscape in art using a photographic, often more-than-human lens.
I work with photography, sculpture, painting and video. Photography, in particular, with its reliance on context and uncertain scaling, helps me make open-ended art allowing for subjective interpretations and shared dialogue in the here-and-now. Ambiguity or dialectic thinking in art is for me about bringing forward the dynamic interplay of opposing elements which can lead to deeper understanding, transformation, or synthesis. Contradictions can be held, not as something to be avoided, but as a driving force for change and development and a transformative understanding of reality.
My practice is inspired by my parallel careers in psychological research and coaching and a love of the natural world.
