“Piece by Piece is an ongoing project in which architectural details from cultural institutions are collated as typology.
The project is developed as a museological archaeology of Institutional Critique, in which it is inverted on it's own terms.
A literal deconstruction along theoretical lines.”

“Initially inspired by the writings of Ian Sinclair and his views on ‘mapping’ it has led me to discover psychogeography, whereby you explore environments by instinct, finding the hidden, alternative space.

Fifteen paces is a focused exploration of my experiences. Taking time to notice things that occur in my daily life, existing alone amongst the backdrop of this urban lifestyle. Not the loud, projective subject matter, but the quiet, banal objects that survive in a space of their own. Constantly moving forward, remembering, not forgetting what went before, but always looking, seeking and finding something else, questioning my pause and choice for putting that moment, that object into the rectangular frame of a photograph. It has become as much a study of my surroundings as it has my identity, proving my existence amongst this commonplace matter. The pace of life in western society is in fast forward mode and people become blind to the beauty around them. I hope people can find a small piece of beauty amongst the work and take a moment to appreciate it for simply being it.”

“‘On Road’ is a series of images I have been working on for the past year. I initially started taking photos for the series because of a genuine interest in people, popular culture, social groups and class structure. This drove me to document the people around me on the street. It seems as though in the 21st century, image is everything. Even if not intentionally, when a camera is pointed at us we react. Subconsciously or not, we pose. This was something that I wanted to avoid in my photos for this series. I wanted to capture people in a natural way, without them knowing they were being photographed. This is part of the reason I shoot most of the images from the hip to conceal the recognised action of taking a photograph, raising the camera to the eye.”

“In this body of work I am looking at 25 locations where violence has altered the English landscape. I have revisited, and explored the often ordinary and surprisingly familiar places around the Midlands, that have been tarnished with tragic pasts. It challenges us to contemplate the meaning of what has taken place but also the lives that have been lost and the families that have been destroyed. We are continuously questioning how we associate and tie meaning to a certain location, urging us to delve deeper. Free of the sensationalism of contemporary reporting the unadorned and often plainly deceptive scenarios question our current perceptions of our surroundings. They allow us to look beyond the innocence of the picturesque or banal scenarios and challenge deeper psychological issues, dwelling on relationships between humanity and nature.”

“You See” desires to present the interior reality of both adults and children in the exterior, an internal world in an outer landscape. My homeland of Israel is used as a backdrop. A place that is as emotionally charged as it is politically burdened is photographed through eyes desiring to put aside the use of recognizable images of conflict, but rather as a space of contemplation and reflect.
The notion of ‘fitting’ or ‘fitting in’ is dominant and there is an acute awareness of a place, sensed from afar, predominantly by those away from home. . The primary relationship visible is that of the sitters with their surroundings, the exterior – their ‘temple’. Frozen ordinary acts, play as isolated moments of contemplation shown in extraordinary, yet somehow familiar, surroundings.”

“Waiting For Alex”

“This project follows the life of a woman who exists on the margins, strong and weak, loved and alone, happy and sad. She lives a life not many of us could imagine. I have aimed to create a staged realism, the idea that the camera is at the edge of the subject's personal space. The situations shown are not explicit but I have aimed to use codes and signs to create a curious yet open ended narrative.”
