About

I’m a film photographer and writer born, living and working in London. My practice explores juxtapositions that occur in complex, urban landscapes in London and beyond. I address concerns with identity in relation to memory, architecture and environment, in particular how the geographies and spaces you inhabit shape perspectives and understanding of the self. I also utilise myself as a case study to re-frame and question themes around death and mental health. I place emphasis on the contemporary black female experience which has historically been underrepresented in art, in particular within the canon of film photography.
