Working from within the environment in Central Victoria there is much to inspire me, both in the everyday people whom I meet as well as the constantly changing geography. My imagery is heavily influenced by memories, observation, imagination and the environment. I feel I am now finding my own voice, experimenting with new ideas that are based on what I learnt while at university. This digital photogram is an example, inspired from my days in the wet lab darkroom at university, but using more modern technology. This method I have devised myself through trial and error. Living in the middle years of life I have seen sadness and pain, both personally and in the wider world. I love exploring textures and shadows created with light and am always trying to create individual photographs that are strikingly beautiful and at times, poignant.
