Using my camera as a tool, my lens based practice involves the manipulation and distortion of photographs. I want to create a sense of uncertainty within you.

​

My artwork Confronts and confounds expectations by presenting the image of the human body in a way it's never been seen before. Favoring distortion, as well as aiming to create a sense of disorientation. Despite my artwork depicting recognizable imagery, such as the human torso and limbs, I aim to make the familiar, unfamiliar. I work with both still and moving image. Experimenting with Photoshop and projection. Using myself as an artistic substance. I explore the human flesh and body; my multi-dimensional art invites you to consider paradigms of life you perhaps ignore. My art is a journey of experimentation, the flesh beyond the body, but most importantly, how it relates to society and issues of the human body. Inspiration derived from Rober Gober’s piece, ‘Untitled 1989-90’, I admired how he addressed the concept of the uncanny, fabricating an aesthetic experience through his creation.

​

Referencing Sigmund Freud’s theory of ‘The Uncanny’, his underlined circumstances in which the uncanny can occur is an influence upon the direction my artwork takes.
