The inspiration and subject of my art practice has evolved as a result of the new concept that fuels the creation of my recent artwork- a subjective interpretation of fleeting thoughts and hierarchies within relationships.
Within the process of creating artwork, the physical attributes to my work encompass the idea of scattered or fleeting thoughts through the spontaneity of the unplanned initial drawing on the canvas, and adhering to the contradiction that these momentary thoughts may linger on the canvas. This idea is heightened by the immense use of negative space, exaggerating the image centred within each work.

When I work with my camera at night, my photographs capture a surreal beauty, a new perspective on light and shadow to that of the world under sunshine.
The subject matter of my night photography portrays natural moonlight and artificial light sources such as neon signs, street lamps and room lights. I choose to remove any human presence in the photographs; however, the pictures depict all things man-made.
When I am in the act of taking my photographs, I am filled with a sense of humanity, beauty, harmony and silence. When people see my work, I’d like them to be conscious the universal scenes that are around us.
