Artist Statement
My work focuses on the unique beauty and sensuality
of seclusion plus the search for a sense of purpose and place
sometimes
aggressive and disturbing, other times finding proximity and intimacy,
yet often discovering the tranquility in separation and detachment.
Having never formally studied art, I attempt not to over-complicate my
process. I shoot 35mm film and transparencies, and scan and print the
images with minimal alteration. All work is untitled, undated and is often
non-location-specific as I want to allow people to interact with the images
in their own space with no preconceived notions as to what they are seeing.
Biography
Born and raised in Australia, I came to photography
as a means of conveying my isolation while traveling, using the camera
to articulate the overwhelming sense of loneliness I encountered. Since
settling in New York, I have further explored the idea of solitude - by
looking at the way we view and interact with other animals, our environment
and each other - through on-going projects, collaborations and exhibitions
across the US.
