ABOUT ME

As a fascinated observer of life, I am deeply curious about the complexities and contradictions of everyday life.

Observing the little things that can often be overlooked, the way people speak when they’re nervous, the stories hidden behind strangers’ faces, the quiet changes in nature, an ordinary moment that suddenly feels extraordinary, and the fleeting moments that make up an average day.

My work explores the relationship we have between space and a sense of place.

The adventurous free-spirited traveller in me is curious about home, suburb, inner city, rural, agricultural, pretty, majestic, architecture, stone walls, red bricks, a location on a map or a destination. These are all descriptions of what we may see in a landscape or a space, but they do nothing to reflect our lived experience, memories or relationship with that space.

Questioning how sight, memory, culture and perception shape each other and therefore shape and form our relationships with a site.

Exploring unnoticed observations while being still, as the space around us is ever changing as a flux of individual relationships with the space are happening simultaneously

Am I a photographer or an artist?

Well....

Photography is one way of observing.

Art is one way of interpreting.

Curiosity is what drives both.

I photograph with the attentiveness, soul and passion of an artist.

What that makes me ... I don’t know!
