Erratics 2023/2024 

​​​

I approach photography as a historically contingent fiction, an illusory space shaped by optics, colonial histories, and the myth of objectivity. This recent work collapses the picturesque vista, challenging hierarchical structures embedded in representational traditions. Through sculptural photographs and layered perspectives, I foreground the geological, not as inert background, but as mythic, temporal, and transformative force. Rocks become central actors, revealing their contexts and inviting contemplation. 

 

Blending sculptural form with photographic blur, these compositions suspend time and scale, evoking the contemplative nature of still life while disrupting its conventions.  Blurred grounds energise and contextualise the depicted forms, inviting viewers into an embodied encounter with the material world. Drawing on photography’s capacity for both precision and ambiguity, rocks are meditative anchors that unsettle the boundary between illusion and presence, stillness and movement. In an age shaped by digital technologies and shifting cosmologies, these works suggest relationality and wonder, where perception bends, and familiar objects, like worn stones, shimmer with unexpected clarity.
