This field of stelae in the heart of Berlin is Germany's central holocaust memorial. Designed by Peter Eisenman, and opened in 2005, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe contains 2,710 stelae arranged in a geometric pattern covering 800 square metres.
As a visual artist my creative practice is rooted in my love of photography, capturing images that evoke a reaction in the viewer. It started with my first camera – a Kodak 110 instamatic – progressing through 35mm to Polaroids and 120mm film; ‘going digital’ while lecturing at university in the 1990s using Apple’s QuickTake and the Kodak/Nikon DCS. My creative practice uses a bewildering combination of film cameras, instant cameras and digital equipment to capture my images then I experiment with different printing, media, mounting and framing techniques to create my pieces.
