'Y Lon Goed' (The Lane of Trees)
The series 'Y Lon Goed' portrays the childhood home and the farm in Wales on which I grew up. In many respects the farm is an extension of the home. It is where I worked and played, laughed and cried. The photographs explore themes involving identity and sexuality. My work is strongly inspired by Queer theory, where notions of identity and sexuality are perceived as a performance. They are constructs, fluid and ambiguous, with constantly changing content influenced by history and culture. Who I am today is influenced and shaped by the past.These images serve to chronicle the unconscious through absence, fantasy, memories and forgotten realities. Objects of the everyday reveal the invisible. They are coded with language which defined my youth, in turn shaping my sense of place in the world.
