Make and Do
As I moved from place to place with my family as a child I became adept at making the most of my surroundings. I continue to find excitement in the unpredictable appearance of a type of 'familiar' that we can recognise even in a newly adopted landscape. Make and Do has developed out of these ideas and experiences. Each photograph consists of an assortment of found elements; once it has been taken the photograph becomes an autonomous space, containing a scene that emphasises chance relationships between seemingly unrelated entities. I am drawn towards traces of improvisation, the presence of craft and the handmade. The individual portraits, landscapes and objects that make up this series reflect these aspects of the world.
