In my photography, I explore intersections of photography and contemporary art where light and colour become the subject matter to reveal rich palettes, patterns, layers, and textures. Using different techniques, all the images start in the camera as I look beyond the object to explore unseen elements and abstractions of the visceral world. Reality recedes and light, colour and pattern create fragments of mysterious ‘otherness’ in these painterly images.
