I explore spatial representation, form and the concept of capturing a specific moment in time within photographs. 

Using appropriated printed imagery, most often sourced from used books and magazines, I remove or obscure the original context using a surgeon’s scalpel. I use this deliberate act to challenge the pictorial codes and conventions surrounding societal constructs and gender representation within the image.

The cutouts are then layered and spliced into unplanned arrangements that visualise themes from unconscious thoughts, memories and imagination.

Finally, I rephotograph these collaged interventions, restoring them to a semblance of a photograph's original form. This process serves as a transformative act, blurring the boundary between the preexisting and the reimagined, and invites the viewer to reconsider the familiar in a new light.
