Projects

  • 3 Feet or 3 Miles (2020)

    This project documents the destruction of a small utopia near my family home. In which we kept, chickens, ducks, and most importantly, my dad kept beehives. The images in this project depict the landscape after the trees have been felled, vegetation cleared, and a fence has been constructed. The destruction of this landscape to make way for the building of houses has destroyed not only our space, but also the trees in which birds lived, and the variety of native plants that grew on the land. The silence is deafening, and the land is scarred. The photographs in the project depict the destruction of this area, which is a fundamental element of the rapid area that I called home. 2

  • Keeper (2019)

    This project and book encapsulates the work of my dad as a humble beekeeper. The process of making honey starts with the building of the hive. Then over the year the keeper maintains the hive and looks after the bee colony. All of the work the keeper carries out leads to the final product; pure raw honey, which he puts into jars, ready to be enjoyed. 3

  • Forma (2018)

    The body of work was created though a long time collaboration between myself and photographer Shauna Kinchella, for exhibition in 2018 in the group show for IADT second year students. The body of work is a study into shape and form of the human body, though the use of silhouettes in studio. 4
