Artist’s Statement:

“My work is geometric and uncanny. Driven by visual curiosity, I ask the viewer to be curious with me. Two questions underly my approach. ‘What will catch my eye around the next corner?’ and ‘How will the camera interpret the scene?’.

I seek to transcend a ‘literal’ representation to make our imaginations work. I want the viewer to be drawn in, to notice the overlooked, to explore and wonder – not to accept what we ‘see’ at face value but to search for alternative hidden narratives and interpretations of our lived world encouraging the viewer to ask ‘what am I looking at?’ and ‘how does it make me feel?’.

My images feature real places and real structures but often present as metaphors of human emotions, such as trepidation, alienation and isolation, sometimes even with subliminal anthropomorphic features, such as faces and eyes, prompting feelings of the watcher being watched.

I have a fascination with the process of photography and the way the camera ‘sees’.  I concentrate on the optical aspects to express my vision rather than work with complex post processing. The optical path of the camera can reveal shapes, patterns and perspectives which the human brain would not always”
