Practice
I’ve come to desire the presence of authorship in my work, sometimes described as the hand of the artist. I don’t think it should be fetishised, but I do think it offers something more real, which some photographic techniques can lack. With an ever increasing consumption of photographic images and the emergence of AI, making a human connection through my work requires; play, imperfection and curiosity.
I don’t pigeon hole myself into one photographic technique, I enjoy them all too much. One project may exclusively use one process, such as my Chemigrams in Avona. Another may thread through different projects, such as photomontage with Chop + Stick. Social documentary projects such as Waiguo Ren or The Railway Village, use multiple aesthetics; from low resolution digital images to hand printed analogue work.
I use photography as a way to; understand my life and the human condition, satisfy my curiosity, and crucially to explore what I find to be beautiful.
