Master of Fine Art

My practice explores how the photographic image is used to construct and inscribe desire. Identifying the image as a slippery site and a leaky surface through which information flows, the project mediates the experience of oscillation between material and the immaterial to rupture the recursive structure of the image. Using lapis lazuli to intersect and mediate the photographic process, the work encourages viewers to consider their experience of images and how their moments of desire are augmented through them.
