I'm a photographer and visual artist based between Glasgow, Scotland and Lyon, France.
I use photography to overlay physical reality with the invisible realms of inner landscapes, dreams, and individual and collective memories. With the human psyche at the heart of my interest, I'm inspired by the tensions and strange encounters between inner and outer worlds.
I question if, amid external overstimulation, we pay enough attention to the little streams of information coming from within. I celebrate their existence through image-making and installation.
My practice combines diaristic photography with performative and sculptural elements and raises an open-ended question of whether it belongs to truth or fiction.
I’m available for creative commissions in art and applied arts.
