I put together objects, both found and made, to create installations that tell a story of place, people and memory. Photography is often the starting point for research and sometimes, the end point - to capture the essence of the installations when they are composed of ephemeral elements or are time based in nature.

I place myself in environments where I have a strong sense of feeling or being ‘out of place’, where my visceral reaction to the nature of the space and the materials I gather onsite direct the work I make.

My projects explore the choreography of human interaction and the stories reflect the moments where we connect with each other and the absence when we don’t. A look, a glance, a shared thought.

Conversations overheard, fragmented and taken out of context.
Objects showing the patina of use and repair, the traces we leave behind.
