About
&CV

I am a fine art photographer and doctoral researcher based in Brighton UK. Photographic medium and vision are at the foreground of my practice. Often borrowing from psychoanalysis and philosophy my work explores how photographic qualities, like its relationship with memories and representation, can be approached differently through process and performance. I work with digital and analogue media in all formats and use camera-less technologies to articulate the material condition of photography and its production processes.

My research interests lie in the relationship between the experimental cameraless photography and the operator, viewed through a feminist lens. Informed by the philosophy of New Materialism, I am interested in the idea of nonhuman agency in the traditional printing process. My research positions the darkroom as a site where the female body negotiates the material process and photographic technology, embodying traditions associated with the practice.
