Artist statement
A major concern within my practice is the maintaining of a dual narrative. As a visual practitioner, it remains that the audience find my work visually accessible in addition to conceptually stimulating. My work is always photographic based, and uses both traditional film and digital systems.
Whilst developing a series of work, often the personal journey of investigation through a process becomes an integral part of the work itself lending projects a time based aspect.
Although my work appears to deal primarily with issues of space, particularly urban or architectural, an additional factor of interest to me is human impact or lack of it on spaces. Despite the absence of the figure in the majority of images I produce, there is usually trace evidence of human activity or a notable sense of anticipation of human presence.
