MA work

My practice as an image-maker is concerned with place. I am interested in the contrast that lies between vast urban spaces and those moments of a personal nature that take place within them. These encounters between space and person create small dialogues; echoes of instants gone by and instants yet to come.


This series of works is concerned with giving form to this idea. I am interested in looking at the city as a labyrinth, and tracing the patterns that define everyday life within it.
