My early photographs incorporate portraiture, objects and spaces to communicate the underlying emotional landscapes that exist within the home. The physical setting represents the psychological divisions between family members, and the light in the photographs forms a boundary between the interior of the house and the world outside.

Recent explorations have led me to convert a utility van into a mobile pinhole camera from which I create large-scale images of landscapes. The desire to photograph the landscape evolved out of the need to explore the outside world; a place where space and objects often allude to relationships, emotions and memories we experience on the inside; interiors that consist of self, family and home.
