About the Artist

CURRENTLY WORKING ON 1 PEFORMANCE LEAD MOVING IMAGE PROJECT, INSTALLATION AND PHOTOGRAPHY.

The recent series"CATCH ME BEFORE I FALL", looks at the British/English tradition of "sweeping things under the carpet"; pretending situations are fine when they are clearly not. Children tend to act more honestly, until they are socialised into behaving otherwise and part of this work is a response to that stiff upper lip tradition of carrying on regardless, in the face of adversity, sometimes to the point of defying all logic.

These images are not the result of capturing, minor, every day moments, the banal or the domestic, nor do they attempt to reveal 'true to life' or 'realistic' aspects of a person's character. These collaborative performances act as metaphors for life's more extreme experiences and our responses to them; how we choose or are forced to deal with adverse situations that we are often powerless to change or control.
Within these theatrical 'family' studio portraits of close friends and relatives, day and night are reversed, interiors become confused with exteriors and awkwardness gives rise to humor.
The intention was not to present my relations and close friends in the most flattering, composed way, but to set up situations whereby composure and self-control become more difficult to achieve or maintain, conflicting with the desire to keep things hidden.
