ABOUT
My practice is concerned with perceptions of imagined space and experiences of real place. I explore the illusory and perceptual issues intrinsic to both photography and the built environment, consistently questioning the relationship between two and three-dimensional space, representation and object, original and copy. Recent PhD practice uses photography, combined with the mechanisms of sculpture and site-specific installation to interrogate the spatial relations between photography, print and building. Conceptually, the research addresses the materiality of the photographic print and its potential to transform and re-imagine space and form. Re-installed back into the built environment, I interrogate the experiential differences between built and printed form, lived and represented reality.
