play of light

I create and photograph performance-activated landscapes. My interest lies in the process by which the images come to life: the intention or concept, the creation of props, and the performance. I rely on the serendipity of movement and collaboration with others and with the unpredictable elements of my chosen environment.

My work is inspired by a sense of discovery and imagination and informed by the uncertainty and choice currently facing us as a species. I aim to capture a sense of optimism that teeters somewhat magically on the fragile balance of our shaking, shifting planet.

The Arctic Tern’s global migration is the longest regular migration by any known animal.
