  My practice observes the relationship between the viewer and a scene through the still of liminal space. Examining the psychological conditions of dissociation and the quiet ruptures that occur between presence and perception. Working with medium format analog and digital photography, I explore the space around me on foot to find the spaces I photograph. I am interested in how states of mental disconnection alter our understanding of space, time, selfhood and how the familiar can suddenly become unrecognizable. Photography, for me, is a way of tracing these fractures in perception. Allowing me to externalize inner experience of distance, confusion and introspection through atmosphere and form. I understand photography as a negotiation between what is seen and repetition, I explore how spatial environments reflect mental states and how architecture, landscape and the banal can absorb and echo the conditions of psychological unease. My work concerns itself with the act of perceiving self and the fragile negotiation between being in the world and observing it from elsewhere.
