Biografia
I am a photographer and visual artist, based in the West Midlands.
I believe in a world of mirrors, both as literal representations of people, power and the messages which are fed to us through history and the media, but also as portals to another dimension, the ‘mirror world’ where nothing is as it seems, but where nothing in this world cannot exist without its polar opposite – light and dark, tragedy and beauty, creation and devastation.
Equally my work exists in this semi-real dimension – There may be a very clear subject or message in my work, often there is more than one way of looking at it – the viewer’s own vision is as unique and important as my own. Just as you can listen to a piece of music and take your own meaning and solace from it, although the writer had a very specific subject in mind that you could never know fully comprehend. So exists my work.
I am particularly influenced by the photographic work of the surrealist movement, play, the uncanny and mistakism. I am inspired by photographers and artists who are able to capture the beauty in every day life, including Eugene Atget and Uta Barth.
