Exhibitions & installations

My work is not centred on the individual image. Rather, I see the making of images as an integral part of the storytelling that is central to the way we understand our lives and the world around us. Exhibitions and installations are opportunities to develop narratives around themes that interest me.

As transport and information networks spread out across the globe our relationship with a shrinking world becomes ever more ambivalent. We know so much more about our planet, but are losing the mystery and magic of difference and diversity, along with the ability to find wonder in our immediate surroundings.

Two shows, Flat Earth – The Ely Fens and Short Walks on the Lark, explored a modern rural landscape and large-scale farming in East Anglia.

Flat Earth 2007 – a photo installation – linked that to the tipping point when worldwide the urban population first outnumbered the rural population and we became a city-dwelling species.

The multi-media installation One Rock explored these themes of identity and loss, while the open air exhibition Vendanges d'Images shifted the focus to patterns of agriculture in rural France.
