My investigation centres around the idea of the photograph as a non-truth rather than the perceived verisimilitude of the image; and the physical experience of the built space rather than its measured reality.

Through the use of photographs and objects I endeavor to investigate the tension between what we see (think we see) and what we experience in spaces and how we translate these encounters. The so-called ‘nostalgic’ and remembered aspect of both architecture and photography are a fundamental aspect in understanding the language of both (built) space and (photographic) image. The temporality rather than perceived permanence in both architecture and photography becomes the stimulus.
