Untitled. Pictures from the Real World. 1988

About:

I am a London based photographic artist and educator using documentary photography and expanded modes. Since graduating from West Surrey College of Art and Design, Farnham, England in 1988 with a BA in Photography, my work has been exhibited, published and reviewed internationally and held in public and private collections.

Practice allows me to interpret my social and political curiosity with the world. How representation performs knowledge within that, adds to the mix. I have also used fiction; moving image, performance and verbatim theatre; as well as three dimensionality and immersive installation I maintain a belief in the validity of documentary practices with an open mind to how  they may manifest and formulate important questions beyond language, through spectacle, provocation, and poetics. Rarely does such practice singularly resolve anything in the real world.

I am Principal Lecturer of photography at the University of Westminster, London. In October 2023 I was awarded a PhD by Published Works after  submitting my thesis, ‘What the Subject Did. Negotiating Agency within Representation’ to the University of Sussex.
