​

Having grown up in an age of rapid technological advancement,  my work combines analogue and digital processes.  The theme of ‘Translation’ is central to my practice as an artist and as an educator. 

​

My photographic work is an exploration of the sense of disembodiment brought about by the fast-changing digital landscape, depicting the intersect of built environments and virtual space. My photographs of handmade models will take you on a journey through a maze of liminal corridors, playful colour and scale. 

 

I think of my photographs as stage-sets that invite the viewer to place themselves inside the spaces they depict, which lie somewhere between nostalgic and unsettling.
