Set in homes, gardens and public areas these images explore the psychological relationships between the subjects and the spaces they occupy.

A dreamlike tension and sense of menace within the architectural or outdoor spaces plays into the dialogues between the people depicted. Drawing on everyday anxieties and childhood memories the images reflect on the fine line between reality and fantasy, exploring the strangeness that lurks beneath the surface of the commonplace. Night time and twilight settings distance the viewer from the everyday, entering a world of psychological uncertainty, where things are not always as they seem.

Familiar spaces are rendered peculiar by the night. The figures occupy pools of light which drop sharply away into a darkness which hints at the imagined unseen.
