Artist Statement

My artistic development stems from years photographing human hidden faces, exploring the acceptance of the physical body, discovering what could be held inside a protective shell, to an inquiry into my own childhood history and how I identify today.

Currently, I am exploring, through the daily practice of photographing visual notes and then transposing what I saw, heard, thought, remembered or dreamt on to paper.

As a child I was carefree, inquisitive, and life was magical. I want the viewer to see this playful view of my childhood surroundings. By throwing a light on my past experiences, I flick a switch unlocking the viewers’ own historical memories.
