Previous Projects

I often use photography to depict the unseen, the interior world, the landscape of the mind. I’m fascinated by the possibilities that images hold to provoke sensations, thoughts and feelings. Much of my photography practice is, in some way, related to memory. This is an evolving selection of projects I’ve made over the last few years.
