Originating from Cornwall, my work is concerned with ideas of narrative and identity within set up and studio photography. I work with myself as the singular model for the creation of characters and alternate personae in surreal, often heavily saturated, realities with ambiguous and fragmented narratives.

Working with digital photo manipulation techniques to create realistic images of the impossible, I multiply myself within the frame in the form of different characters.

I began production of elaborately staged images consisting of vividly coloured constructed sets and featuring multiple characters – a series of work I would come to call ’Self(ish) Characters’. In thinking about the creation of characters I began to explore the notion of becoming a separate or new identity. The work began to take on a characteristic of itself, a signature visual style of dramatic and intensely vivid situations in which the frame is filled with information to enlighten a narrative or event and yet the nature of this is still ambiguous enough for the viewer to be able to form their own reading.
