The Mediums Glasses I & II - Photographs printed onto old pairs of glasses using traditional darkroom techniques
I was inspired to produce a series of works based on nineteenth century occult and pseudo-scientific documentary photography. During the nineteenth century it was believed that camera technology could capture the spirit world and photographs appearing to show ghosts and a range of occult phenomena were often used as "evidence" for a world that lay beyond what we could see.

Spectral Paradigms was a contemporary art exhibition taking place at All Saints Church Tooting, as part of the Wandsworth Arts Fringe Festival 2017.
The exhibition bought together the work of diverse contemporary/new media artists, adopting a range of techniques within their work ranging from photography to digital art, installation to video art, and a variety of mixed media techniques.
What unified the work of these artists was a desire to search for, and investigate the world that lies within, and beyond the everyday. Engaging with ideas such as the un- real and the visible, “truth” and “reality” and the undocumented.
I exhibited a body of work that taking into account the unique architecture of All Saints Church Tooting.
