Projects
  • Paperland
    PaperlandThroughout my time at University I developed an interest in paper art as well as constructing the image into an object. Within this series of work I have intwined the two, creating a narrative scene of my favourite, and well known fairytale; Through the looking glass. A narrative story of Alice in Paperland. This work has recently been exhibited in Pingyao International Photography Festival 2015.
  • Digital Archive
    Digital ArchiveThese projection photographs represent a new lease of life for unwanted and forgotten images. Unwanted digital images usually get discarded, whilst unwanted analogue images will remain on the negative, they are still a physical. Working with digital photography for the past 4 years, I had collected an archive of digital images, which I hadn’t discarded, but neither used or looked at in years. Projecting these images, I have re-photographed them to make them a completely new image with it’s own purpose, different to the original. The colours have been created through the projection, which I learnt to take control of, taking these new images further away from the original. I have made ‘Digital is for forgetting’ into remembering these digital, images that were once forgotten. The images were taken from the past five years of my journey as a practitioner. The images from this series have been recreated from images from Manchester, London and North Wales.
  • Reflecting
    ReflectingIn this work I have regenerated the photographs found in my family’s album. My interest in appropriation and paper art for quite some time has led to me combining the two to emphasise the family thread and connections. The featured images are a selection of snapshots, school photographs and studio images taken from key events typically found in the family album. The subjects reflect one another showing their similarities, crossing generations and genders to create an entirely new persona.
