My work explores the construction and deconstruction of still and moving images, to expand our ways of seeing. I am interested in challenging the limits of indexical representation, the mechanics of the camera, and the materiality of an image. My practice is grounded in a post-photographic discourse and directly responds to the constant over-saturation of images in our daily lives. I am also interested in exploring the relationship between the subject (as a performer) and the camera, and between the image and the audience.
