I am a visual artist/photographer living in Oxford. I’m endlessly fascinated by the natural world, especially aspects of it which explore process and nature. My focus on photography ranges from alternative processes such as cyanotypes and photograms, to working with medium format and 35 mm film cameras using slide positive film, black and white, and colour.
I’m currently at The Royal College of Art studying on the Masters of Research.
My work approaches landscape not as scenery but as a relationship with Wytham Woods where I have been working for 5 years. The resulting images reflect seen and unseen processes above and below ground. This body of work made with nature in Wytham Woods moves away from the picturesque photograph towards something more fragmented and unstable. I see myself as a caretaker once I have buried the medium and large format film in the woods checking on it over the weeks and months until there is just enough of the image altered by mycelium, soil microbes and weather. Through slowing down, embracing chance, and working with nature’s own processes, I seek to make work that feels elemental, intimate, and alive.
My work approaches landscape not as scenery but as relationship - a negotiation between what is seen and how it is made. This body of work, produced in Wytham Woods, moves away from the picturesque tradition of woodland photography toward something more fragmented and unstable: light breaking across bark, canopy dissolving into abstraction, the forest floor rendered as texture rather than terrain.
