PHOTOGRAPHY

Long before the arrival of the internet, smartphones, and instant access to images, I was lugging around my Minolta SLR, snapping photos, and developing them by hand in a darkroom I rented by the hour at a community center. It wasn't until 2017, when I decided to reinvent my relationship with dance, that I began to delve into image capture and image making as a significant part of my practice.​

Analogue
Photograms
2022-present

A photogram is a camera-less photograph made in the darkroom with light, objects, and light-sensitive paper, popularized in the early 20th century. As we embrace an AI future, I find myself drawn to past processes, enjoying the darkroom's theatre with natural objects and light to create unique images. Each piece is unrepeatable, influenced by the paper, object composition, and exposure time.

Self portraiture
Digital photographs
2022-present

While I own a SLR camera most of my digital imagery is caught on my iphone. I am seduced by the spontaneity and the convenience. Also, pragmatically, without a huge set up I am able to remain somewhat inconspicuous in public outdoor spaces.

 

While my eye is drawn to numerous subjects and places and things, in keeping with my previous incarnation as a solo dance maker, the majority of my images are self portraits.

I pay respect to the Biripi people on who's land I live and create. Always was always will be.
