artist's statement
My practice engages with architectural space in the urban
environment in the greater Belfast area. The focus within
my practice is the conceptual deconstruction and
destabilization of space. I control the space by visual
disruption of the subject matter and through careful
consideration of composition in order to create a sense of
disorientation of the picture plane. I juxtapose depth of field and
surface area to create a constant shift of planes and fragment the
subject into geometric sections. My practice investigates the use of
photography to alter the perception of space as the lens frames and
therefore interprets space, thus creating an illusionary or unreal
space.
