    Sorry For The Mess
    Detail.

  • Play

My work emerges from an exploration of serendipity within daily acts and my journey into the understanding of good taste and bad taste. I investigate behavioural / emotional patterns through snap shots I take, describing human gestures overlooked and worthy of attention and communicate the eccentricity of their essence through materials that carry my cultural view point. Through personal discoveries, I am building my own 'Folk Archive' and portraying emotional narratives.
