Project summary:

 

My creative practice spans individual work as an artist, curator and writer and includes collaborative projects and creative project management.

 

I am curious about the ways in which objects and experiences construct both individual and cultural identity. I often use sequences in my work, referencing the shifting, fragmented quality of perception and the transient nature of relationships, people, places and things. As a former psychotherapist, and am particularly interested in the ways in which identity and memory are inextricably linked; constantly reviewed, recalibrated and mediated through objects.

 

 

 

Through the AA2A residency I worked in the Forensic Pathology Photography Laboratory at Derby University, exploring macro-photograph and micrography to document and interrogate objects weighted with nostalgia.
