Fraxinea
Ash Dieback is a highly destructive and prolific disease, spread through fungal spores, ‘Chalara Fraxinea’. Spores can be carried on the wind, on clothing or through animals. Unchecked, Ash Dieback can ravage local tree populations requiring extreme measures in order to contain and control its spread. It is projected that up to 95% of Ash…
A Month of Sundays

The images are sourced from publicly accessible webcams spanning the globe, from sites of historical and cultural importance, to those…
Myths of the Union
The British tabloid press has a long and antagonistic relationship with the EU and European Commission, frequently publishing misleading, misguided and histrionic articles with a tenuous relationship to fact. Consistently, the perceived Bureaucracy of Brussels is a target for mockery and incredulity, with British institutions bearing the brunt of ‘EU Meddling’. Frequently these stories contain…
Accrual Media
Accrual Media represents a digital ‘reshuffling’ of Roland Barthes’ perennial academic reading list favorite, Camera Lucida. Each page of the original publication has been scanned and subjected to a partially human guided application of Adobe’s “Space Time Video Completion” algorithm, put into action through Photoshop’s various Content Aware processes. These alterations prioritise the visual…

Attractors / Abductors
I know very little about fishing, the last time I partook in tricking fish onto a hook, admiring them and then returning them to their watery home, was as a child over twenty years ago. I do remember finding the paraphernalia fascinating, the rods, reels, floats, tubs of maggots and of course these lures. Each…
Come Here, I Need You
Site Specific installation featuring incidentally/accidentally triggered audio/visual ‘interuptions’ caused by the reception of celluar signals from observers and passers by. The project visualises the concept of ‘atmospheric data’ in the atmosphere through composite images of rural base station masts and mobile phone video. If you want to learn a little more about my thinking behind…
For Decorative Use Only
For Decorative Use Only was created as an illustration of a survey on 21st century rural village living in the Lincolnshire region. I wished to allow people to express their feelings on what it means to live in smaller communities and how that related to perceptions of the ‘idyll’. For every positive comment that praised…
Desense
This multimedia body of work was created as a response to International broadcast news imagery, and the potentially diminished role it plays in an age of total image saturation. Sourced by culling every image from the BBC International website over a month long period in 2010, Desense takes its visual cues from the uncanny world…
