I like to play with ambiguity, and bring attention to the negative. Highlighting voids and adding awareness to things which might otherwise be overlooked. The seeming ‘addition’ of parts of an image, a wing, a body, a spectre is actually a removal of part. I think about loss and memory a lot with the darkroom techniques I use to create these effects. The imperfect traces left behind by dodging and burning while printing become part of the work. My work invites viewers to engage with presences and absences, exploring the echos and imprints that things leave behind. Reflections and shadows giving a body to the unseen and in some photos where objects appear in couplets feel anthropomorphic despite the apparent lack of a body. Empty vessels in which you can impress your own memories. Other photos show bodies concealed by dust sheets or long exposures, like trying to remember what a body looks like in a dream. Series of unique prints. Please specify which print when purchasing (2 available currently, pictured). Pricing is per print and inclusive of UV-protected fine art frame.
