Photographs redirect my thought process. The image is extracted from its’ natural place, and is transposed into another location, where this redirection of thought commences.  The photograph arrests a moment in time and enables me to explore and experience the image which does not change, yet where ironically, my response often does.

My early work focused on the water vortex, in which I extended the photographic process into more sculptural forms. In my current practice I am exploring several threads, one being abstracts, and the other – photographs taken whilst ‘On the Road’ around Australia and examining the interrelationship between people’s verandah spaces and their history.

I am an observer. I take photographs of those things which intrigue me. I then explore these images and my response to them.
