“I am intrigued as to how past experiences impact on our lives in the present and how my past informs my view of the world.”

“My present project depicts a series of memories from childhood. The work exposes these early experiences, giving them expression and form, which for many years had been repressed. This photographic exploration of constructed tales along with text creates a naive and yet nostalgic look at my past.”

“This photographic exploration while being a type of self portraiture, as I am also the subject in the frame, also challenges sentimental images of childhood from this time and how powerful the use of photography can explore such personal issues.”

The Art of Dying#1

Sigmund Freud wrote ‘our own death is indeed quite unimaginable, and whenever we make the attempt to imagine it we can perceive that we really survive as spectators…. At the bottom of this nobody believes in his own death…. In the unconscious everyone of us is convinced of our own immortality.’ Freud also argues that the need for survival and the knowledge of our ultimate fate creates high levels of anxiety.
