Work in Progress

Current work expands on my ongoing exploration of visibility and the viewers perception. These developing pieces invite the viewer to move, look again, and question what is seen or overlooked.

A series of suspended acetate panels form an immersive installation, which hang from ceiling to floor. Printed imagery shifts and fragments as the viewer moves through the space, creating moments of clarity and distortion. The work asks the viewer to physically navigate the space in order to fully encounter the image, reinforcing the idea that understanding is never fixed, but dependent on position and perspective.

Alongside this, I am developing a participatory project involving 50 self-portraits contributed by members of the public. Each image will be translated into glass and presented as a collective grid. The work explores shared experiences of visibility and invisibility and how individuals may feel unseen for many reasons, including age, gender, race, disability, or personal circumstance. While each portrait represents an individual, together they form a wider social reflection.

A further body of work focuses on self-portraiture altered through textured glass. Here, the image is disrupted and partially obscured, shifting between recognition and abstraction. These works examine how identity is mediated, how we are seen, how we present ourselves, and how easily that image can be distorted.

Across these works, the emphasis remains on instability: images that resist a single reading, identities that are not fixed, and the tension between being visible and being overlooked.
