I am an Oxfordshire-based photographic artist specialising in analogue photography, alternative processes, and camera-less techniques. My work explores the beginning of image-making in relation to contemporary photographic practices. Experimenting with plant-based emulsions and new 21st-century substrates l work in untested territories of the photographic medium. Physically I research and employ new substrates for light-sensitive emulsions to adhere. I play with long exposures and ways of slowing photographic processes down to original invention speeds. These photographic objects are the story — they index photography and its 21st-century state which is slippery and without boundary.
