I approach my role as an artist as that of a story-teller and inquisitor; I aim to draw viewers into alternate worlds that exist parallel to our own realities, but ones that often challenge our preconceived notions of life or experience. Recently I have been exploring the impacts of using Infrared techniques to craft transcendent, dreamy and surreal images. The ‘ephemeral’ and fleeting moments, which are seemingly captured through photography, is another interesting duality in my work, and has manifested in experimental processes with the destabilisation of images. I am influenced by many things, ranging from religion, the digital realm, cultural diversity, history, science and the natural world.As both a painter and photographer, my influences stem from well traveled cultural experiences and teachings. There is a strong connection with Eastern traditional practices in my work, which sets it aside from the predominant Westernised Contemporary art scene. I am currently completing an extended residency on traditional Muong tribal land in Vietnam. Each work is hand crafted with time and care. I hope you enjoy the works, and may they bring a little soul from this beautiful world into your home.
