In my work I explore time, space and memory. I reference the various effects and general impacts of television. I am also interested in other means of digital escapism, presented in the form of social networks and mobile phones. My fascination with these ever-present phenomena lies in the mental states and gaps created by them and how these could potentially be harnessed for further creative exploration. I seek to use the aesthetics and associations of television more effectively as a tool for re-creating or reawakening memories and the imaginary. I am currently looking at the concept of transient memory through imagery surrounding pixelation, distortion, magnification and colour fields. I have been photographing images of domestic objects, experimenting with video, different lenses as well as other mediums such as scanners, toy cameras and expired film (both colour & B&W). My intention is to find ways of capturing mundane or seemingly insignificant objects and memories that fill up the bigger picture of our everyday lives. Issues of memory, identity & the specificity of different mediums will be played out in new installations.
