Artist statement: Using film photography, I project ‘markings’ and mementos into still images. Film negatives organically produce an inherent dialogue of time. I direct my practice and ideas towards the navigation of (non)linear time structures, shared belonging and the motions of intimacy – focusing specifically on how these concepts impact our bodies and environments. I favour the medium of film photography for its chemical sensitivity as it responds directly to its local conditions. I warp and repurpose images with experimental substances, layering them on top of each other to produce landscapes that intervene with chronological ideas and represent different landmarks of belonging and mortality.

Also known as Giclee prints or bubble-jet prints, pigment ink-jet prints are generated by computer printers from digital or scanned files using dye-based or pigment-based inks. A series of nozzles spray tiny droplets of ink onto the paper surface in a precise pattern that corresponds to the digital image file. In dye-based prints the ink soaks into the paper, whereas in pigment-based prints the ink rests and dries on top of the paper surface.
Whilst the term is broad, pigment ink-jet prints have come to be associated with prints produced on fine art papers. They are the most versatile and archival method of printing available to photographers today. A wide variety of material on which an image can be printed with such inks are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolour paper, cotton canvas or pre-coated canvas.
