Artist Profile

My working practice is based on the use of photograms - a primitive photographic technique that records the space around objects on paper. My work is made using live animals.

 
I graduated from the University of Wales, Newport in 2004 with a BA in Fine Art and Contemporary Media and from the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff in 2005 with a Masters of Arts: Fine Art.
 
My working practice utilises photography's oldest and newest forms, the photogram and digital editing and printing. These prints are made directly from contact with living animals. 
 
This work experiments with the idea of capturing a trace of touch - in making images with ‘life’ and developing a visual language through them. The weight, the size and the shape of things contribute to the image but are also lost in it.  The majority of my subjects are my pets.
 
My photograms are processed traditionally and then scanned to enable them to be reconstructed as larger, increasingly complex works. They are then printed. As the original objects are unique so to is each finished piece.
