IN PURSUIT OF THE INCONGRUOUS       

​

In these images I aim to locate the sublime in the everyday. I believe as Robert Frank did, that “It is important to see what is invisible to others”.  I ask questions with my camera and this approach has given me poetic license to explore light, texture, shape and composition free from the constraints of a cogent linear narrative. This playful engagement with form imbues my photographs with visual contradictions and non-sequiturs. I am interested in creating images that allow for a continual re-engagement with form, thus inviting my viewers to make their own meaningful connections.

 

The images featured here are a selection of medium format photographs from my ongoing project, ‘In Pursuit of the Incongruous’. When I was 5 years old, my grandmother awarded me the nickname “eagle eye” for my keen attention to detail. Today, I continue to prize the uniquely human capacity to observe and compose. I am drawn to make images that interrupt our expectations; pictures that ask us to look at the world in new and unexpected ways. I aspire to do this by focusing on that which may otherwise go unnoticed.
