  My current practice is concerned with ideas of history, perception and representation relating to identity, specifically in context to the concepts of sovereign knowledge and their juxtaposition with collective knowledge. I use both my own photography, as well as inherited and found images and objects to construct both narratives, as well as explore concepts of justice and representation. Place also plays an important role in my process, leading to my exploration into installation work, often pulling from my immediate surroundings to create memorial-like works about people or events. My interests are heavily rooted within ideas surrounding the photographic and lens-based mediums, but I actively strive to push myself to take many of the concepts most readily explored in these mediums and transpose them into other forms. This directly influences my interest in challenging the contemporary ideas of what makes something archival, in both physical and digital terms, as well as questioning aging concepts in the field, and the oral history’s ability to survive the test of time.
