ABOUT

Image courtesy of Gordon Best Photography
Hello, I'm a visual artist/photographer, based in both Yass Valley, NSW and recently Southern Tasmania. My practice is based around exploring themes of perception through experimental photography. So far, I have been using ICM (Intentional Camera Movement), digital pinhole, paper negative pinhole and camera obscura. I am always looking for different ways to see things. As philosopher Aldous Huxley wrote "There are things known and there are things unknown, and in-between are the doors of perception."
