Phase
My artwork involves mixed media used both in an abstract and representational way. I love the physicality of art; the textures and craft involved, often using collage, threads, paper and organic material. I feel excited working with these various mediums that often surprise and create unexpected outcomes.
Creating art is my way of investigating the world and exploring relationships with each other, as I believe it is an important tool of communication and transformation. It is a way of discovering my own identity. I strive to create work that is meaningful to me; I hope that through maintaining integrity originality emerges.

entry description
These images are manipulations of a studio portrait that I took. I always use a layer of craft in my photography to find a more intimate, personal response to the image. The handling of light has an element of spontaneity but it creates a sense of illusion and ambiguity as the images recede into darkness. I had a strong sense of what I wanted to achieve through the different mediums but I also felt that I had a responsibility to respect the sitter’s privacy.about the photographer
