I'm a recent graduate from the University of Wales, Newport and a current student on the MA Photographic Studies course at Westminster.
I'm interested in photography as a way of understanding how we process memory within family and personal environments and my work approaches this from a variety of different points. By combining the use of archival photographs, both found and familial, prose and my own photography my hope is to create projects that are both personal and highly accessible and evocative to the viewer.
Photos are taken from a project called 'Little Birds'
'Little Birds' is a photographic project that looks at the idea of memory within the family environment. The work invites the viewer into a strange, fragmented world. In a sense it is designed to reflect the very mechanics of remembering itself – instead of large scale scenes with a sense of narration we are instead confronted with flickers of time – these images attempt to explore the gaps between our memories, and show the viewer how it is these 'inbetween' moments that so richly make up how we remember the tapestry of our lives.
