Description:	‘My images document the staging of improvised, on site, compositions. The installations take the form of constructed interiors (assembled from obsolete or discarded items) which interrupt a landscape. The documentary function of the photograph and the contrivance of the staging underline my interest in what is perceived as real and what is artificial. I am concerned with references to redundancy, dislocation, function and dysfunction.’ [MORE] [LESS] ‘My images document the staging of improvised, on site, compositions.
