    Artist Statement

    I am a British artist with an MA in Photography and a strong record in community projects. I am currently a Lecturer at the University of Brighton and I have been working as an artist using photography and mixed media for over 10 years. I have exhibited nationally and internationally and undertaken numerous commissions and residencies.

    I have worked with many different communities, producing collaborative projects in order to engage wider audiences and share diverse stories. My work has been developed through living with different communities; reflecting a vision of the world concerned with identity, belonging and our relationship to the land, particularly in the context of national or regional mythmaking. I have a particular interest in combining a desire to experience the ‘sublime’ with the inexplicable seduction of the abyss, exploring the narrative potential of photography in relation to its abstract capacities, and now include drawing, text, mapping and moving image.
