virtues
My work draws parallels between the human exploitation of nature and the patriarchal oppression of people of marginalised genders, and promotes “nature-connectedness” as a strategy for navigating and resisting restrictive societal norms. Co-production and collaboration are important elements in my process which ensure that my images tell an authentic narrative, despite their visual artificiality. virtues investigates aesthetic trends in male-dominated art movements – such as early Victorian photography and pre-Raphaelite painting – and re-appropriates them in hyper-modern constructed sets. In doing so, my portraits highlight how absurd and unnatural it is to define appropriate behaviours and appearances on the basis of perceived gender. “We need the tonic of wildness…We can never have enough of nature.” – Henry David Thoreau
