I am an artist and researcher working with photography, archives and text. I make work about care, women’s labour and photographic history, and my outputs include exhibitions, essays, talks and workshops.

I’m fascinated by the idea of an optical unconscious, where the past returns to haunt the present through the photographic image. I use slow materials and processes - archive research, long exposures, cameraless, pinhole and large format photography - to access a shadow world of unprocessed experience, hidden histories and invisible structures of power.

This processing and reframing can also be understood as care work, where care is expressed through my materials and processes, and in my relationship to the people and objects that I encounter. I’m interested in how a care ethics approach to photographic practice can challenge existing inequalities and hierarchies, and help us to mediate more caring relationships with ourselves, each other and the wider world.
