Concerned with themes of the individual’s existence within the world, my work delves into ideas of the liminal experience between the self and the other. Echoing post-modern artists such as Francis Bacon and Cindy Sherman through my self-portraits whilst acknowledging modernist artists Ansel Adams and the Surrealists through my more melancholic landscapes, I embark to portray a connection between the portrait and the landscape with reference to the longstanding tradition of the photographic medium. My work attempts to evoke a mood whilst looking simultaneously at the self and through the self into imaginative visions of the world.
