ENTRY DESCRIPTION
A figure looks out to sea surrounded by pillars that one supported the West Pier Brighton. These much loved pillars are part of an iconic structure in Brighton. A deep sense of mystery and metaphor is heightened by the dark tonal range of the image. The piece is a homage to the pillars which have been removed for the construction of a vertical pier called the i360

AUTHOR
I am a Brighton based Fine Art Photographer and artist whose work explores representations of location, sexuality and identity. I work across many genres such as portraiture, landscape and short experimental films. My work relies on a personal sense of visual language through the use of metaphor, atmosphere and sensitivity.

My film 'Chance Encounter' used original photography to explore what is allowed to cross that divide between the outside and inside of the body and how it informs our notion of self and identity with a specific reference to how gay men have that boundary violated by culture through miss-representation.

I was a Senior Lecturer in Photography at London Metropolitan University and was the Post Graduate Organizer for the Department of Art, Media and Design. I wrote an MA in Photography which was successfully validated in July 2007.
