Through the combination of moving image, projection, photography, sculpture and installation, I explore themes of impossibility, eternal irresolution, and the practice of trying to gain an understanding of a world that is so unfathomable from within the studio environment.
​
The ability to capture or experience a moment albeit intangible and temporal has been an ongoing interest in my work. I’m fascinated by light, an untouchable and engaging medium, and how it interacts within a space. How it can transform a room by creating different reflections that could only last a second, which I attempt to display though installations and sculptural architectural models. Research into architectural practice has helped me shape my own work in a more complex manner, as I attempt to create ephemeral, site-specific architectural spaces through reflection and the use of transparent materials. These created spaces immerse the viewer upon entering as well as being sensitive to the changes of time and the ever-changing nature of light itself.
​
In the same way, I’m interested in the camera as a tool and how the light enters the physical object, and exposing the film and creating the image. I experiment with disposable cameras, damaging both the body and the film whilst photographing various light sources to see what effect I can achieve. Similar to my interest in the unpredictable nature of natural light, I find the process of developing the photographs really exciting. Not knowing how the light will have been captured in the image and the nature of the disposable camera developing a one-off, unique image makes the end result even more interesting.”
