Artist Statement
It’s all about the land, its mystery, its ambiguity, its disruption and rhythm.

It’s about obstacles, changes in light, time passing, doubt, a circle with no beginning or end, the continuity of infinite repetition.

I go to places that inspire me. I compose imaginary narratives of journeys l take. I like to explore the notion of time, space and the illusion of memory.

It’s about getting in touch with my intuition, and having a dialogue that challenges me .I pay attention to the transitory moments of natures multi faceted forms, and the beauty and chaos that is always in flux.

Ultimately, it is a journey of discovering the subliminal qualities of a particular place and time.

By using a primitive camera with a manual winder, l am able to compose my narratives in camera by shooting continuous frames on one strip of 120 film with no interruption.
