ARTISTS TALKING

# 1 [23 October 2011]

Time to introduce myself and the project.

this is what creates every adventure is something that started during the end of my undergraduate degree in Edinburgh. Initially, it focussed on the found photograph and what that object could elucidate about the complex relationship between memory and photography. My work resulted in various pieces, including installation, textile, writing, audio and archives - I'll attach some photos of this work.

I made some work with the Screen Banditas (http://www.screenbandita.org/#!__found-footage/a-bit-older) and was picked for the Futureproof exhibition at Streetlevel Photoworks (http://www.streetlevelphotoworks.org).

I then took a year out: working, teaching, filmmaking, researching and generally being a bit skint and unfocussed.

Now, 2011, after lots of agonizing and consideration, I've relocated to South Wales, and I'm embarking on a 2 year MA in Photography: Contemporary Dialogues. The course is pretty special in its interdisciplinary and experimental nature, and its focus on the process, not the outcome. More here, if you're interested (http://www.smu.ac.uk/images/stories/documents/4deg...) 

My intention? To further develop my 'practice', find a new way to speak about photography, learn more, be challenged, and create my own space in  the world.
