My photographic practice predicates
landscape photography in an untraditional manner through the incorporation of
autobiographical themes. Exploring the ‘self’ and the complications that
arise when one is caught in a state of liminality are themes that are
frequently explored throughout my imagery; I delicately touch upon such notions
and investigate them through the act of photography within the urban
topography. Through the exploration of urban sites, particularly natural breaks
within the terrain, I investigate the uncertainty and ambiguity of my ‘self’
and its familiarity to particular spaces within the city, using the camera as a
tool to externally document the conflict within.
Through such a process, the
urban landscape is transformed into a site of representation; it becomes an
untraditional self-portrait that is rich with indexical traces and notions of
trauma and memory, playfully teetering on the boundaries of conventional
autobiography and how one’s ‘self’ can be documented.
