Four decades of photographic practice. The work returns to the same sites and images, the same bodies, objects, and archives, as continuing events. These returns make no attempt to complete the work — each one encounters it again from a changed position, the site altered, the body altered, the archive altered with them. Photography is my response to this still-unfolding condition: a way of dwelling with forms and places, with experiences that remain active across time.

The archive runs from the early 1980s to the present. It has been digitised from original negatives and transparencies scanned on Hasselblad Flextight scanners, with silver gelatin fibre prints and Polaroid work rephotographed on digital medium-format cameras. The digitised versions are later states of the work rather than copies of the originals, made through specific machines and software, and through renewed acts of interpretation.

Since 2009 my practice has evolved as I adapted to digital capture and now includes full-frame and medium-format digital work alongside traditional 6×7cm and 6×12cm film. 

The work includes album covers made for 4AD — Pixies, Red House Painters, and Heidi Berry. Archival chromogenic C-type prints are made from these high-resolution files by a specialist London lab, exposed onto Fuji photographic colour paper and processed in traditional C-41 chemistry, a true photographic process entirely different from inkjet. From £750 GBP for a 10×8” print + tracked shipping. Each print is individually signed, titled, and dated on the verso, with its unique certificate of authenticity. Available by private enquiry.
