Born 1972, UK. Lives and works in London.
My work explores the relationship between the body and identity whilst also questioning traditional conceptions of corporeality and of the male nude. In my photography the body is presented as unstable, ambiguous, permeable, and lacking a singular coherent form. I depict the body not as a protective envelope that defines and unifies our limits, but rather, a place of interface between the subject and the other. The bodys boundaries are questioned and the closure and integrity of the self is placed in doubt. In my work the body is no longer the space that secures the idea of self, it is the domain where the self is contested and called into question.
