about

My practice explores personal narratives and the emotional weight carried within domestic spaces and the objects we surround ourselves with. In spending time with these quiet things, I begin to discover the stories they have to tell, having a conversation with the objects and questioning the value and place they hold within our lives. The things we live alongside quietly absorb and retain traces of us, holding memories that shift, fade, and resurface over time.

​

I spend time working with fragments of memory through layering, repetition, hidden imagery, shifting perspectives, and reflection. I understand memory as something unstable and continually changing, forgotten experiences resurfacing while others fade. Using cyanotype across analogue and digital processes, I work through layering to reflect this. The medium allows images to emerge, be altered, erased, or fade into shadow, reflecting my experience of holding onto something both present and unreachable.

As Remo Bodei writes, ‘Things are not just things. They bear human traces, they prolong the memory of people for us.’ Even silent, ordinary objects can hold emotional significance if we choose to notice them.
