Commissioned images of the Roukko school extension by Projekt Kuubis Architecture and Engineering.
A wonderful educational space with lots of textures, colour, and a relaxed, informal feeling.

Isolation Dialogues
This was an invitational photography project organised by the Estonian Museum of Photography. The participating photographers were paired either at random or according to their preferences. I was happy to have been paired with Maxim Mjödov, someone whose images I have been looking at for a while, but had never spoken to. For now we have still never met physically, as lockdown persists, but we did produce a series of responses to each others images – a visual dialogue created in isolation.
The project is also published in print by the museum

Hiraeth
Personal photo project, culminating in a group exhibition with Stefano Carnelli and Pablo Conejo. Shot in Bosnia in 2015, exhibited in London, 2016.
Hiraeth’ is a homesickness for a home to which you cannot return or a home which maybe never was. The nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the lost places of your past. The project explores the breakup of Yugoslavia and the subsequent Bosnian War from the point of view of a single village, following a family archives alongside the remains of physical structures. As the site itself is still largely littered with mines, access was limited. Much like the villagers themselves during the war, I only had a day to gather everything from the village.
The narrative for ‘Hiraeth’ is pieced together from the remains of the lived space, the family archive and oral history gathered during a year of research. By introducing the archive and personal histories a temporal shift occurs where new possibilities arise for perceived truth. The final result was exhibited as part of the London Urban Photo Fest 2016.
