Co-chair of PhotoHastings, biennale photography festival in Hastings since 2010.
Funded by the Arts Council, PH seeks to
broaden the culture of photography in the South East, through quality
exhibitions, talks, workshops, and community participation.
My work involves research and
exploration into cultural issues around race, sexuality/gender,
death/decay and the shifting nature of contemporary image-making.
From documentary photography to elaborate theatrical staging, I make
work that provokes thought and questions, images that can be
considered subversive. I believe that photography cannot tell the
truth. Every image has been constructed, somewhere along the process
of making it.
