A Part of a Whole depicts an imagined built landscape of buildings that exist only when one is viewing the remains of an abandoned townsite. The shadows are presented within suitcases representing those who inhabited this town and the shadows are visible only with a moving light inside.

Bankhead, Revisited explores the sharing of my curiosity while exploring an abandoned townsite with the viewer. It comprises several grouped prints made from 3d scans on the site, and a moving light source creating a shadow which implies the path of curiosity, and imagining the original landscape.

Walls: Retaining Memory proposes the concept that walls collect the experiences that occur around them, presented in the form of small house-shaped 'books' with stories enfolded within them, as well as walls that can be reconstructed into houses with images of memories.

Reduced to a Rumor explores the faded specifics of identity from detail, to rumor and folklore, presented as an installation where figures appear in photographs of degraded spaces and slowly lose detail until they are shapes that eventually disappear from view.

The Archives Project is an ongoing work that examines the changing role of photography for myself, going from a personal recollection to a edited trendition onto a shared experience and, finally, a sense that the mass and potential of photographs means more than the individual pictures themselves.
