I am a photographic artist whose research-based practice investigates how photographic images, often mistaken for direct representations, are the result of complex technical and cultural processes of interpretation. Working at the intersection of placemaking, memory, and truth-telling, I examine the material boundaries of photography and its limitations as a fixed or objective record.
A graduate of Sydney College of the Arts with First Class Honours in Visual Arts, my practice challenges the assumed objectivity of technological seeing through site-specific interventions that incorporate environmental elements directly into development procedures. By working across both digital and anachronistic photographic processes, I reveal the layers of mediation behind seemingly neutral images.
My current research examines planetary imaging systems—how satellite imagery is captured, processed, and circulated—and the ways these technologies shape dominant narratives of place and visibility. I investigate how vertical knowledge systems influence what becomes visible and what remains hidden, questioning the authority of remote sensing in representing landscapes in flux.
Through this practice, I explore how alternative image-making processes might foster critical literacy around mediated representation and reclaim visual sovereignty.
