While studying at the Glasgow School of Art, I have endeavoured to explore universal themes of grief and identity and considered how fantasy can act as a form of catharsis.

My practice is grounded in and inspired by my loved ones and the lengths we will go to when we are trying to navigate grief. Using analog photography, through constructed image-making and self portraiture, I have photographed many different versions myself, a past self, a future self, a different self, a version of myself that I haven’t yet met. But, a self that somehow feels familiar. 

By taking on these personas in my most recent body of work, I have been able to walk between worlds, using my camera as a portal to embrace the metaphysical and metaphorical spaces in which these fantasy versions of myself exist.
