Artist Statement

In my photography, I explore intersections of photography and contemporary art where light and colour become the subject matter to reveal rich palettes, patterns, layers, and textures. Using different techniques, my work starts in the camera as I look beyond the object to explore unseen elements and abstractions of the visceral world. Reality recedes and light, colour and pattern create fragments of mysterious ‘otherness’ in these painterly images.

About the Colour Study Series
The Colour Studies blend traditional techniques of macro photography and depth of field with experiments of layering and blending, creating unpredictable images that explore the nuances of surface, colour, and texture. Producing a style that is instantly identifiable, the images trick the eye of the viewer as they blur the boundary between photography and art.
