Wave 2016, collage. This work formed part of a series, Bring Out Your Dead. As with much of my image based work, it is an attempt to examine the authority of the printed image and the narratives coded into them. The use of found imagery produces both a sense of familiarity and one of unease: in the cutting and reordering there exists both a continuity and a disjunction with the world as it is imaged. It allows, through the physical act of reassembling, time slippage and the questioning of representation, hierarchy and power.

From 2016, Grief encounters versus the explosive world and vice versa, a collage consisting of two different versions of the one image found in two publications. One, the World Press Photo book and the other a photographic compendium of the twentieth century. Again as part of my collage practice, this work addresses the fundamental schism that separates the what we experience from the narrative coded into documentary of the same experience
