 Statement

My photographic research is in discovering moments when an everyday object, being recognised as symbolic, becomes a ‘dream object’. The rhyming of poetic images allows a glimpse at the undercurent rhythms, serendipitous connections, drawing relationships between dream and waking world. A moment when a voice is distinguished, a point of convergence, quiddity.
