Welcome!

Karamea
- Not a big shock that living somewhere where I can hang out in good company - on a beach - with a fire - is reflected in my photography.
- This is where it all began really, photographing my fire pieces at Uni, just so my work could be assessed - as I was burning the evidence!
- And then really getting into how the camera froze the flame & revealed something new, or something hidden from our usual eye . . .
- My first solo exhibition followed my first residency at Annaghmakerrig, 'Responses to Fire'.
- Really though it goes all the way back to me as a toddler, not settling, & being set in front of the open fire (all safety precausions taken!) & watching memsmerized until the heavy eyelids finally won over!
- There is something very alluring & free about those dancing flames . . .
- Scott's Beach - haven't been on it, just looking with great joy & anticipation!
