Photography is a way of communicating what others cannot always understand. I am an emerging artist whose journey has meandered through various fields from eco-feminism in days of the Anthropocene to urban abandonment. Using film, digital photography and camera less experiments I have explored storytelling in various ways. I developed a book of cyanotypes that others could use and have created small scale imagery and video overlays. More recently, a video holds us in a single moment (big or small) whilst the world keeps revolving around us. 

“There are religions in which the representation of the world is banned as an usurpation of the power of a God, creator of all things. It is very possible that photography is a trick of the devil, and each shot is a sin.” - Joan Fontcuberta

 I see photography much as Fontcuberta does in his quote above, challenging the norm and questioning photography, its truth, validity and action.
