Stage in community space. The Most Holy Redeemer parish church. Clerkenwell, London. EC1About:
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 Hons in Photography, my work has been exhibited, published and reviewed internationally and is held in public and private collections.
As a documentarist, I have employed conceptual approaches through moving image and three-dimensionality. My social and political curiosity presents questions around how representation performs knowledge, and I maintain a belief in the validity of documentary with an open mind to how works may manifest to formulate a practice beyond language, through spectacle, provocation, and poetics. I understand that 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 from the University of Sussex for my thesis, ‘What the Subject Did. Negotiating Agency within Representation’.
