I’m a Margate based artist, working with historic and alternative photography processes and I was co-founder and Director of The Darkroom Project at Resort Studios from 2013 – 2021.
My interest lies in process and in the ‘objectness’ and ‘materiality’ of the photograph and research led me to work with sustainable processes and how analogue photography can lessen its environmental impact.
