Rural Architecture & Design
Rural architecture, especially rural architecture fused with elements of decay fascinate me & draw my attention. These buildings appear to me like tombstones or markers indicating past stories & moments left behind for us to view. They appear to me like whispers from people long ago.

Collections (Series)
I am a collector of many things; Matchbooks, cameras, vinyl records, The Simpsons TV series toys, books, moments in time, emotions, experiences & old magazines just to name a few. These are a few of my collections expressed as a series of still life photographs. Collecting things provides me with a sense of unity, control, progress & refinement. 
Stillness (Series)
These objects, these delicate flowers are fleeting, are transformative. They are not special or above anything else in this world. They are however, stunning & are to be adored for as long as possible. Minimalism using blacks & shadows to create the mood. I was inspired by a classic 90s goth vibe, perhaps something funeral. I wanted the rose & vase to look as if they were made of stone.
