Artist CV
Investigating the natural and constructed worlds we live in, my work aims to touch on deep cultural histories, as well as interrogate an understanding of self and identity. Photography has always been of particular significance, however, my work transcends the boundaries of photographic media and delves into the expanded field and installation. I find that the objects or materials bring inherent meaning or associations to the piece, and I often assimilate this into my work. As a photographer I am also deeply curious about the properties and potential of light, both in forming an image, and the ways it influences the viewing of an artwork. I approach my role as an artist as that of a story-teller and inquisitor; I aim to draw viewers into alternate worlds that exist parallel to our own realities, but ones that often challenge our preconceived notions of life or experience. The ‘ephemeral’ and fleeting moments, which are seemingly captured through photography, is another interesting duality in my work, and has manifested in experimental processes with the destabilisation of images. I am influenced by many things, ranging from religion, the digital realm, cultural connections, history, science and the natural world. Recently my work has been moving towards installations, working in the direction of immersive spaces to be experienced by individual viewers, allowing them to form their own understanding or relationship with the work. I am particularly fascinated by the role of the viewer in participatory art work, and the ways in which this allows the work to morph and shift.
