My recent work explores temporality, meaning-making and place. Acknowledging that influences such as family stories, cultural myths and hyperbole inform subconscious expectations for the moments of our lives, I respond to the dissonance between these expectations and the reality of our lived experience. By bringing familiar, shared scenes or surfaces  – along with photographs sourced from family and my own life –into an unexpected and disjunctive context, I aim to create spaces where elements initially assumed as immediately understood can be confronted and re-examined.
