About

Using the traditional medium of film, I create a collection of works that fuse the realm of cinema and its relationship with the still image. Familiar objects are strategically placed and elevated in the mise-en-scène. Each image is a fictional fragment with enigmatic details that are suspended. There are no middles with no beginnings or endings, but a hinge point of narrative that are tinged with consumption and desires. I want to bring a discourse we have with objects and create an encounter that arises comfortingly familiar scenes but yet stills feels unfamiliar to us. Staging, shooting, processing, printing This is the rhythm of my practice that takes hold of me to the point of obsession.

Process is significantly crucial to my practice. The mediating process of constructing a staged set from lighting right through to staging the object. After the shoot I head straight to my studio to process the film. I shoot all my work on my film and hand process the film and print myself. Something takes over when you are in the darkroom, it becomes your safe place. It is these moments in the darkroom that I really love, there is something very comforting about walking into a darkroom and seeing your enlarger and smelling the chemicals.
