I aim to break photography so that I may then play with the pieces.
The Process
I aim to break photography so that I may then play with the pieces.
My interdisciplinary art practice focuses on photography, blurs artistic boundaries and is inspired by the bold painters, musicians and genre-bending innovators working beyond accepted conventions in their craft.
My own artistic path weaves through several creative disciplines and the new visual language which is emerging enables me to articulate a genuine excitement about seeing and a playful approach to art-making.
