Having grown up in the countryside, creativity has been my go-to toy; this is perhaps the beginning of my curiosity into seeing the often unpredictable results of analogue photography. Interested in the collaboration of different mediums and the archival, my photography often consists of layered narratives tethered to themes of; structure, reality, time, and movement. My images remove the audience from their familiar vantage point and leave an opening for the connection of individual experience.
Having recently returned from a three month vocational course and internship in Seville as a Photographer, I am looking to incorporate my creative background in analogue and mixed media into digital photography.
As a part of various exhibitions, I have been an exhibitor, curator and photographer:
2019 - 92 Dias; Group Exhibition. Gallo Rojo, Seville, Spain.
2018 - Yolk Collective; Free Range Group Exhibition. At The Old Truman Brewery, London.
2018 - Focus; Falmouth Graduate Show. At the Institute of Photography, Penryn, Cornwall.
2018 - Flashpoint; Group Exhibition. At The Gallery, Institute of Photography, Penryn, Cornwall.
2017 - Lux; Group Exhibition. At The Poly, Falmouth, Cornwall.
2015 - A Space Within & Other Stories; Group Exhibition. At The Gallery, Institute of Photography, Penryn, Cornwall.
