Statement
In my images, I explore the representation of place, memory and fragmentation through sculpture and photography.
My photographs are made from constructed miniature installations that depict imaginary environments and objects, documented and printed in large-format. I work within the aftermaths and traces of experience - cracks and crevices found in the walls, a stack of objects as a reminder - creating narratives within this periphery.
