'Sun, Shadows & Little Trees' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In this series, plant cuttings are delicately balanced on coloured backgrounds, making sharp sun-cast shadows. These photographs explore the use of shadows as an important part of the composition. ⠀

Twelve Months Passing

In this series of photographs I explore how the plants in my garden change throughout the year.

As I tend the garden, I am fascinated to see the changes in all the garden plants. I see beauty in dried twisted seed heads, flower buds, fragile rotting fruits with papery skins and leaves ridden with holes from garden pests.

The work is made through the process of carefully arranging cuttings and plants in the studio, which I have gathered from my garden. Each photograph gives a sense of the garden at that particular moment in the year

Still Life with Flowers

(colour in nature)

Inspired by the garden in winter, this botanical photography series celebrates the often overlooked colours of buds, leaves and stems. In these carefully arranged compositions I explore the concepts of harmony and still-ness using the colour and form of common garden plants.

Photograph of handmade temporary sculpture made with natural found objects collected from a garden. Made from bark and several sead heads, wrapped together with coloured blue wool and standing on a pale blue surface.

Nothing Lasts Forever

In this series, I assemble and photograph things that I have found whilst walking in nature. In creating these images, I reflect on the fragility of nature and memory.

Cyanotype print of yellow corydalis, a common garden weed with pretty leaves and trumpet shaped flowers. Blue and white colours.

Cyanotypes

Cyanotypes are made without a camera and are a type of contact print - plant specimens are placed onto hand-made light sensitive paper and exposed using sunlight, and fixed by rinsing in fresh water.

I contributed to a project called Quarantine Herbarium (during lockdown in March 2020) which documents plants growing in the UK.

Botanical inspired photograph of small bean seedling growing underground. The background is dark soil and there are roots of other plants growing nearby.

Digging

In this space, time passes. Things live, die, decay and grow - and nature and culture play their part in the momentum of a never ending cycle.

This work was my final project completed during an MA in Photographic Studies at the University of Westminster 2012.

Fine art photograph of nest like object on a white table cloth, with pale green/blue wall behind.

The Life of Things

Inspired by the Vanitas tradition, I am looking at the things that surround us and I photograph objects which I have bought, kept, collected, made, found and salvaged. How powerful can these objects be as images symbolising something that cannot be photographed?

'The Life of Things' aims to reflect the continuous cycle of life and can be seen as a metaphor for the journey of life itself.

Selected photographs are available to purchase as limited and open edition archival prints (hand-signed Giclee prints). If you are looking for a specific photograph which you can’t see in the shop, please enquire by email.
