My work explores images that contain a 'threat' that provoke anxiety. Beauty contains this threat - there is no beauty without its counterpart. My current work continues a lifelong argument with and investigation of embedded narratives in anthropology/archaeology, the garden, sites of human habitation, and landscapes. As part of this argument I capture, manipulate and stage images to expand, provoke and unsettle the/our sense of ourselves; of who we are, how we need and use this tension or fear to determine and control identity and territory.

I use everything I can; all media including digital photography to create my work. It's all about detail or rather attention to detail. Careful attention to colour, to composition and to a disciplined series of processes all work to create an aesthetic and personal distance. Imposition of colour effects and layering create the illusion of a shallow perspective - engaging you, the viewer, to 'see' the work in all its universes; a visual image, an illusionistic abstraction, and not only a reference to a 'sight(ing).' My work disrupts my vista as much as your assumptions about 'truth' and 'reality.'
