The project Light Interiors links past and present and attempts to capture the ephemeral prose and poetry of people’s lives. Working with the physical characteristics of light, the way it is distributed through doors, windows and openings offers an opportunity to be read and interpreted as signs. The home is portrayed as an archive; the artefacts captured are not documents but distilled memories. The fabric of the building provides the backdrop and the unifying link for these projected images, recalling memories and emotions. A child’s birthday party, a hospital scan, and a formal portrait interweaved with the remembered vignettes of daily life that form our perception of home. There is a conflicting sense of loss and gain, drawing attention to the joys, expectations and sorrows that permeate the house.

About
I began my training in Glasgow and then moved to Plymouth, where I continued to study photography at Plymouth Art School. Now living and working in London as a Lecturer and Practitioner. I try to balance the demands of developing both my lecturing and personal work. Lens-based, cameral-less, analogue and digital processes are all part of my image making. Landscape, memory, portraiture and place have established themselves as the predominant themes in my photographic work.
