| Artist Statement |
| |
My practice is based on exploring the nature of the photographic; the construction, understanding and presence of images. I investigate this with place in mind, the landscape that exists outdoors but also that created through the historical visualisation of the medium.
The work incorporates three different ways of registering the world around us; an intuitive response to everyday places or iconic locations; following strict logical ways of navigating and looking at the landscape; and a direct appropriation and transformation of practices and art works of established practitioners. By interweaving these approaches, the resulting images, maps and documents aim to provide alternative views into the act of photographing, traversing and remembering the landscape, whilst also re-engaging a dialogue with how others have presented the world. |
