Biography

I realise now that I have been an artist my whole life. For a very long time, that was as a photographer. What excites me most, these days, is a kind of making that engages all the senses. Process is always top priority. Looking, collecting, experimenting with found materials. Being surprised when something stirs and wanting to go further. Sometimes the medium is alternative photography, sometimes it’s building a sculpture or collage.
