archipelago
self-initiated
2024
live
A photographic survey of remote island formations off the west coast of Scotland. Shot over three seasons, the work interrogates ideas of isolation and the threshold between land and sea.
The project draws on hydrographic survey maps and archival coastguard records, layering documentary impulse with an interest in the sublime. Each image was made on 35mm film and printed as large-format C-prints.
drift
nowness
2024
broadcast
A short film commission for Nowness exploring the relationship between tide patterns and human movement along the Thames estuary.
The film uses a single static camera position across multiple tidal cycles, allowing the rhythm of water and people to create its own accidental choreography.
mineral
kinfolk
2024
live
A still-life series for Kinfolk magazine exploring the visual language of raw geological materials.
Each image was lit using only reflected natural light, requiring long exposures that introduced a quality of time into what might otherwise appear as purely spatial images.
threshold
wallpaper*
2024
broadcast
A twelve-page editorial for Wallpaper* investigating material transitions in contemporary architecture. Photographed across five countries over six weeks.
The images focus on moments of material change — concrete meeting glass, timber abutting steel — treating architecture as a continuous act of negotiation between systems.
dispersal
another magazine
2023
live
A portrait series for AnOther Magazine documenting artists in transition — between studios, between cities, between practices.
The project was made across six months and four cities, each sitting structured around the threshold moment of a move or departure.
groundwork
somerset house
2023
touring
A site-specific installation for Somerset House’s East Wing using archival photographic materials embedded in concrete forms.
The work explored how photographic images change when removed from their original context and fixed into a material substrate — the image becoming physical, the document becoming object.
second skin
self-initiated
2023
broadcast
An experimental short examining the relationship between textile and skin — the garment as architecture for the body.
The film combines Super 8 footage with digital compositing to create images that hover between documentation and abstraction, between presence and trace.
still life i
self-initiated
2023
live
The first volume of an ongoing still-life study examining obsolete domestic objects and the material memory they carry.
Objects were sourced from car boot sales, estate clearances and industrial skips — chosen for their sense of having been used, worn, or discarded. The large format process slowed the making and introduced a quality of attention to each subject.
wave function
nts radio
2023
broadcast
A visual commission for NTS Radio — a twenty-minute film responding to an original score by Actress.
The work was developed through close collaboration with the musician, each element of the score generating a corresponding visual decision about movement, duration, and framing.
common ground
tate modern
2022
touring
A large-scale photographic installation for Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall Bridge commission.
The work presented photographs of shared public land — commons, greens, parks, verges — at a scale that made individual blades of grass visible, insisting on attention to the overlooked.
formation
self-initiated
2022
live
Landscape work made in the Cairngorms examining how glacial geology has shaped the language of contemporary land art in Scotland.
The project sits between photography and research — reading landscape as a kind of slow sculpture, one made over millennia rather than years.
lineage
i-d
2022
live
A fashion story for i-D magazine exploring hereditary dressing and the visual transmission of style across three generations of one family.
The project was developed over several months with the family, allowing the photographs to emerge from actual relationships rather than art-directed scenes.
meridian
bbc arts
2022
broadcast
A documentary following sculptor Phyllida Barlow during the installation of her final major survey exhibition.
The film focuses less on the finished work than on the process of making — the physical labour of installation, the decisions made in the space, the sculptor’s relationship to scale.
offcut
032c
2022
broadcast
An editorial investigation into manufacturing waste and material excess at the intersection of fashion and industrial production.
The images were made inside production facilities in Italy, Portugal and Germany, focusing on the offcuts, remnants and surplus material that surround the manufactured object.
compound
frieze
2021
broadcast
A photographic essay for Frieze magazine surveying artist residency compounds globally — their architectures, economies, and social formations.
Visiting eleven residencies across eight countries, the work examined what it means to create dedicated space for art-making, and what assumptions about production are encoded in those spaces.
matter
design museum
2021
touring
A research-based installation for the Design Museum exploring the material origins of everyday objects through photographic and archival inquiry.
The installation combined large-scale photographic works with physical material samples and archival documents, tracing the supply chain of five domestic objects from source to shelf.
passage
dazed
2021
broadcast
A short film for Dazed Beauty exploring ritual, transformation, and the body in transition through a series of durational performance works.
The film documents a series of actions developed collaboratively with performers over two weeks, each involving water, cloth, or threshold spaces.
residue
self-initiated
2021
live
A series of photographic works using cyanotype processes on linen — examining what remains after exposure, both chemically and metaphorically.
The linen substrates were sourced from domestic interiors, each carrying its own prior history before being sensitised and exposed.
cadence
self-initiated
2020
broadcast
A personal film made during the first lockdown — a meditation on the rhythms of an empty city and the sound of suspended time.
The high frame rate was chosen to make visible the small movements that ordinarily pass unnoticed: a curtain, a shadow, the almost imperceptible sway of a street sign.
field notes
monocle
2020
broadcast
A photographic travel essay for Monocle across rural Scandinavia documenting the architecture of agriculture and vernacular building traditions.
The project was made over three weeks in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, focusing on working farms and the functional beauty of buildings designed entirely around use.
still life ii
self-initiated
2020
live
The second volume in the Still Life series, focusing on found glass objects, light refraction, and the phenomenology of transparency.
The objects were photographed against constructed light environments rather than neutral backdrops, allowing the glass to reveal the world behind it as much as itself.
surface
elephant
2020
live
An editorial series for Elephant magazine photographing the surfaces and substrates of artists’ studios — paint skin, plaster, residue.
The project treated studio surfaces as index of practice — evidence of decisions made, reworked, abandoned and built upon.
ground
aperture
2019
live
A monograph commission for Aperture Foundation — ten years of landscape work unified under a single inquiry: what does it mean to photograph the earth?
The book brought together work made across five continents, edited and sequenced over eighteen months to find the underlying argument that the decade of work had been making.
interval
self-initiated
2019
live
Photographs made in the gaps between commissions — in transit lounges, waiting rooms, and threshold spaces. A study in enforced stillness.
The project began without intention, accumulating over two years of travel before its logic became visible: these were all places designed to hold people in suspension.
topology
channel 4
2019
broadcast
A documentary for Channel 4’s Random Acts programme exploring the work of land artist Richard Long, following a six-day walk across Dartmoor.
Rather than interviewing the artist, the film attempts to document the walk itself — duration, weather, terrain — as a form of understanding.
