Info

I take pictures in order to bring to life the ideas in my mind. My work combines elements of abstraction, and extraction, with the everyday and the recognisable. I lift and adapt subject matter from what I see around me and do not always choose that the results should be obvious, or even readily understandable. The fact that an outcome may be indistinct or ambiguous can to me be one of the most satisfying parts of my work.
