This site is dedicated to displaying my work. It will also host my research activity and tell you a little about myself with a brief biography, and a blog.

Knowledge manifests itself in many different forms and relates to us in different ways. It has different modes and communicates with us through different structures. Some of the structures are social and institutional structures, some are more personal, spiritual and embodied, some are abstract and expansive, and some are resistant to being understood. These different knowledges live through us, exist beyond us, form and constitute us.

These knowledges are examined in my work through photographic imagery which is grouped in various series. Soteriology is a lengthy series that looks at the role of signs, in particular emergency exit signs, and how they occupy, inform and constitute a space, opening an area which is under the sign's jurisdiction. Legally the signs presence and size is related to the size and use of the rooms, and because of this it also relates to us, as the perceived size of the sign is kept above a certain minimum so as to be visible from anywhere within a space. The signs occupies a determined amount of our perception, constantly reminding us of ways of escaping through their glowing iconography. Night Signs is a series of long-exposure images that puts glowing graphic signs into urban spaces. The role of light as a symbol of enlightenment and knowing is coupled with the universalist desire of modern communication. Structures of knowledge looks at how the empirical reception of the world, and long-standing model of knowledge of camera images, is mitigated by the acts of construction in making that knowledge. The world is used as a canvas to proffer ideas for conceptions of knowledge. The images are speculative and form a poetic relation to knowing and to the world that they are derived from. The fact problem looks at objects whose cultural complexity defies an objective understanding, where the role of the interpreter and viewer becomes a major function in knowing and overshadows the object itself. Lives in representation looks at how knowledge manifests itself in the objects that artists use or create and the shapes and function of the spaces in which they lived and worked.

The material form is borrows often from C19th processes granting the images a tension between the digital content and mechanical form.

My research is principally concerned with digital photographic processes, whether they are based upon current technologies or early processes from the mC19th.
