Creative Arts, Rochester. (Graduating 2010)

Alec Soth, Paul Graham, Larry Sultan, Philip Lorca DiCorcia, Gregory
Crewdson and Glen Luchford to name a few.

Statement
"Like most people, they will consider the place they were born
their home. However, many feel it essential to somewhat abandon the
place they grew up in search for something new, something different.
A self exploratory process.
Having recently moved away from Berkshire, upon returning I experience
a feeling that i cannot place nor describe. A nostalgia of mixed emotions.
The 'What is England project' has encouraged me to return to my home
town and explore these ambiguities through the people, and the places.
Thanks to Alex Kent, Jonathan Simms, Caroline Scott, Steffi Klenz, Dan Holdsworth and Robi Rodriguez for all of their advice and support throughout my professional practice."
