A journey towards ‘sense of place’ is at the heart of my practice. As an artist, I transform blank surfaces into new layers of the landscape, showing a scene of constantly evolving space, unfixed, and ever changing. My works tell stories for the avid window watcher, scenic route taker and landscape lover. Through my main points of research into alternative photographic processes and immersive installations, I create discourse with the act of gazing, looking, and coming face to face with the landscapes that lie before us and beyond us.
My practice flows between photography, writing and artworks, that are grounded in a playfulness of ever evolving ideas. Much of these works involve the participation of the viewer and celebrate the interaction of neighbourhoods with local nature. I lead and work with other artists to deliver workshops on nature and photography such as the RCA Cyanotype Workshop at Great Exhibition Road Festival, London, 2022. I also deliver talks, and most recently gave a presentation to the BA Photography students at London Metropolitan University about my immersive installations.
Adjacent to my art practice, I contribute to publications exploring a wide range of topics from art to science and have been published on various platforms including BBC Wildlife Magazine, Rife Magazine, Earth Color by Emma Burleigh and online photography platform NatureTTL.
Born in Bristol, England, my work is heavily influenced by landscapes in the South West and investigates the identity of ‘home’ and how we interact with nature on personal levels. I studied BA Marine and Natural History Photography at Falmouth University, before completing my MA in Photography at the Royal College of Art in 2023. Over the course of my studies, my practice has become a point of inquiry into what landscape can mean to different audience members. Debating how creativity can be a tool within community to create conversations about how we can better understand the nature that lives in these spaces alongside us.
