Untitled; In the Wild

The above images stray from my usual workings of manipulated and re-worked found images and objects. I will leave these images open to your interpretation, and would love to hear it too.

Odds and Ends

A scattered collection of belongings from my grandmother. These items possess a mundane quality pertinent to their time of function, however, these mundane items are invested with a wealth of history that one is not quite able to determine. The partial concealment of these items within each image, displays the cryptic qualities of the unanswered questions that my history beholds.

Keepsakes

Keepsake displays the euphoria of sentimentality. These images capture an intense personlised history that what is totally unknown to one, is so closely familiar to another. My quest in searching for answers pertaining to my history continues in my drive to dig deeper into the mental and tactile imagery, as well as the metaphysical world of the unknown.

Impressions

These photographs remain as impressions that engender a sense of memory, ideas and beliefs of which will always remain within the realm of uncertainty.

In creating this particular series, I have allowed and encouraged myself to experience elusive glimpses into my past only to push me further into this historical void that I have yet to discover and resolve.

This series of four is an extension to the previous series of four.

Band Boy

My work is very much influenced from Surrealism. Exploring the metaphysical world that continues to deny entrance to the physical, one is only able to explore this realm through the subconscious. A state of mind that one is unable to control. Read more...

Standing to Attention

This work plays on the effects and notions of transience. The Figure fades into the background as though memory would within one's mind. Read more...

Once Upon A Time...

Once Upon a time alludes to a simpler time in one's life, an adolescent time. These images portray my parents as children, as well as other distant relatives. Through these images, the vivid reality of today merged with the unclarity of the past creates a metaphysical barrier from delving to deep into the past. Through this constant struggle to search for something that one could never truly gain any concrete answers, I am able to continue to re-construct images into a formulated and fabricated memory.
