I often see images as a starting point - the beginning of a conversation, a thought, question or observation.

I have always been intrigued by the way vernacular photography seems to merge relatability and ambiguity. How a photograph can appear familiar or prompt a memory, but not be our own.

I am interested in the variety of ways we engage with, attach meaning to or disregard images.

How and why these responses differ overtime and the impact that context given or withheld has on this.

Questioning narrative through placement and sequencing, my work considers the interaction between individual images and explores how the relationship of two or more can or might create a subsequent third. 

Using images from my own and my families archive, ‘sleeping on it’ explores the role of the ‘insignificant image’, the links between photographer and subject and subject and viewer and  photographies influence on memory - do photographs help us retain memories as they were? Or reinforce perceptions overtime that deviate from the truth.
