Naturalistic Fallacy
Exploring the moral ambiguity of how we construct and consume images, this series of photographs indulges the voyeurism of image-making through the prism of art-historical reference points. Within the framework of Vilém Flusser’s claim that ‘thinking is anti-image’, the iridescent pigeon cadaver and the absurd carnality of the Courbet-esque nude work to form an uneasy allure as we transition from the real to the photo to the photo-real.

My work looks to tease out our vulnerability to Romanticised narratives, using them as a lens through which to test the hazy boundaries between nature and artifice; observation and voyeurism; humour and pathos.
