Ice preserves, similarly a photograph freezes time and is taken to keep a memory alive. However, whilst appearing to offer eternal life old analogue snapshots are fragile and easily destroyed. They are defenceless against physical deterioration and ageing. These previously treasured paper objects will eventually, finally, fade. Accordingly, they mimic the inevitable disappearance to which we are all destined. Only empty spaces remain.
I am a British photographic artist with a particular interest in the preservation of analogue snapshot archives and their use in an artistic practice. Using various techniques my work explores abstract concepts. Whether working with contemporary or archival imagery my interventions allow alternative and new dialogues to be imagined.
