Her fascination with fluids and it's correlation to the human body has sparked off a series of experimentation into using Saliva as a base fluid, combining this with various inks and household fluids to generate chemical reactions. This particular fluid combination creates a variety of smoky layers due to the nature of the fluids viscosity, combining the aesthetic beauty of natural forming patterns with the vibrancy of man-made colours. The resulting images contain a microcosm of reactions on a larger scale, appearing both etheral and otherwordly.
My work is all about experimentation and spontaneity. I specialize in a technique called scanography, a photography technique that I approach from a fine art perspective. I am interested in the unconventional means of taking a picture without the use of a digital camera and have been exploring new ways of creating an image.
My work focuses around three central elements; colour, light and natural forms. My topic of choice is examining the flow and motion of fluids as they combine, collide or conform with other substances both man-made and natural. I have endeavoured to amalgamate notions of paint, photography, dramatic colour and abstraction to create art consisting of dynamic consequences whilst allowing for each canvas to remain beautifully distinctive in its own right.
These organic images represents the beautiful yet fragile nature of fluids, filled with colliding energies and turbulent forms. These patterns are created when hydrophobic and hydrophilic fluids collide within certain lighting conditions. The circular nature of the work is reminiscent of petri dishes and microscopic views, examining a microcosm of reactions on a miniature scale.
These images are the only trace of their short lived existence, exemplifying the role of art in creating the illusion of permanence in a transitory world.

about the photographer
I am a curator and graduate from Manchester Metropolitan University with an MA Contemporary curating (2013) and BA (Hons) Interactive arts (2012). I have exhibited previously in various locations around the U.K and have a studio at Local Creation, Altrincham. I have been an active part of my local community, curating 28 art exhibitions, 5 museum displays and 18 workshops.My work is all about experimentation and spontaneity.
