Derivations examines the formal relationship between history and separation, loss and renewal.

‍

Women have always been intrinsically linked to the still life genre. Derivations delves into familial cycles of growth and decay by examining the personal history of a photo album, not concerned with the domestic per se but rather the narrative, the passage of time, and what has gone on in it.

‍

The women of Paisley are of enormous significance and importance to me; however, I hope this reaches further than the individuals in front of the lens. By modifying these moments, Derivations reflects on the legacy of the early 20^th century.

About

I began my training in Glasgow then moved to Plymouth, where I continued to study photography at Plymouth Art School. Now living and working in London as a Lecturer and Practitioner. I try to balance the demands of developing both my lecturing and personal work. Lens-based, cameral-less, analogue and digital processes are part of my image-making. Landscape, memory, portraiture and place have become the predominant themes in my photographic work.
