Photographs 1 - considering light within an ambient environment. 

Work made in Christchurch in response to the dramatic visual scape post three major earthquakes. 

The image was made in the Kaipara in regenerating native forest as a light and movement study. It won the Barfoot and Thompson prize in the Glaister Ennor Award 2012.

Light is a phenomenal experience of time and space - a continuum. A camera, much like an eye, focuses to present fragments of the continuum as frozen pieces of time and space, fully and minutely described. The artist's methodology of 'Kinetographs' extend time and space to make a different description possible - something the eye is not capable of yet is of no less validity as an experience of time and space.

This work looked further into ideas of quantum science and exploring the natural world. It was inspired by the book 'Forces of Nature' by Professor Brian Cox and Andrew Cohen and other associations such as the Large Hadron Collider's discovery of the Higgs Boson and the voyage of the space probe New Horizons that went to the edge of the known Universe at the end of 2018. 

Offering a study of the Avonside/Shirley area of Christchurch post 2010/2011 earthquakes. Like walking in a parallel world - at once familiar yet weirdly and morbidly disjunctive - there is the palpable idea of never being able to return to home.

The visionary concept of the journey and mission of the Hubble Telescope inspired this series of images created using a collection of mundane house lights and other domestic paraphenalia.

These images come from Theatre of Light work. This geneology underpins the work with the concept of life and light playing out on a stage in the cosmos.

Work exploring the beginnings of renewal in Christchurch - the dynamic venture of new building and the inexorable regeneration of nature in the wake of decimation.
