Biography
I am fascinated by 'us', by what we do, and what we are doing to this world. I try and tell the stories of the people I photograph, and the land where I live. My family and their home are perhaps my favorite subjects. The ties and knots that keep us together and divide us. I live a long way from them, perhaps this is why I photograph them obsessively whenever I can. With a lasting fascination of the land and subjects I discover where I live, I try to create visual poems working images together whether in triptychs, series or multi-imaging. I find working images together help tell a fuller story, the need to create an image that thinks, being foremost in my intent."
”Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of
things.” - Mary Oliver.
