Artist Statement
As a multi-disciplinary artist, movement and discovering beauty is at the heart of my work. In the images I capture, I explore the tension of stillness in photography with the fluid and ephemeral nature of movement. I also focus on the performative process of capturing time: Who is performing and when? The subject, the photographer? And does it stop once the image is taken?
My work as a dancer, provides with me a unique perspective on how to interact with dynamic and evolving shapes in human form and landscapes. This allows me to continually co-create with those whose images I am capturing and push the boundaries of “what’s possible”.
