I refer to the dialogue between photography as an artistic and documentary medium and the creative process itself. I explore this dialogue with paintings, prints, and installations. The use and layering of diverse techniques enable me to reveal the changes which occur in an image. I am interested in researching the issues of perspective with regards to the cultural contexts that influence the way we read images. A story can be reimagined and passed on differently to how it has occurred. As an artist, I think of art as a territory where a grey and multi-layered existence, within multiple perspectives, can be reflected. Art is a space that can hold contradictions and can break down fixations and patterns of thinking, through aesthetics as a sensory experience which enables reflection.
