My work is explorative of differentiating aspects of identity, individuality and emotion. Primarily interested in the 'traditional' and nostalgia, I have utilised old family photographic references and Victorian portraiture for inspiration, translating such influences through my use of traditional medium format black and white photographic film.

My work is a blend of archaic technologies and an engagement with the uncertainty they engender in terms of bodily perception and human agency. The emphasis on the body is important, challenging the ways it organisaes hierarchies of knowing, means of movement and connections between itself and the wider world.

The sublety of mark making through unconventional photographic techniques by exploiting surface boudaries on metal, glass and wood provide an integral interplay between the contemporary and the archaic within my work.

My thematic concentrations have sought to project individual visual dialogues through pictorial production, allowing me to strip away the layers of 'self' in front of the lens by dissecting individuality and identity.

The use of aluminium plates are intended to provide another reflective dimension to the pictorial sources produced, whilst simultaneously taking reference from old, dated photographic means and plate photography such as Daguerreotypes.
