Artist statement

In my work I aim to create images of discomfort. I take photographs at night in isolated spaces so as to enhance the feeling of foreboding that something will happen or something has happened. I present a deliberately ambiguous scene allowing the emotions of the image to be more accessible to the viewer.


I am instinctively drawn towards windows; they add an element of voyeurism to the image which the night scene enhances.

In my process I look at each image individually and try to locate a better image within it and crop it down to this. This brings up an issue of size and scale that I will be exploring further.
