a body of visual research that grapples with the violence of making a nest on stolen land (utilising modes of photographic degeneration and heavily layered material processes) 

material process (top work): 

• photograph of my street turned into an etching plate using laser engraving

• resulting print scanned, enlarged, gridded, printed onto A4 paper

• each sheet cut into 4 uneven pieces 

• stitched together

• blurred text imposed using a hand cut stencil 

material processes (middle works): 

stitching and collaging together fragmented layers of: 

• digital photographs of my street corrupted on text edit

• polaroid photographs stripped into layers using acetone 

• printing negatives onto acetate sheets

• printing sections of etchings (printed using a laser cut plate) onto photographic paper 

material processes (bottom works): 

analogue collages containing: 

• digital photograph distorted via unconventional use of photocopier 

• ball point pen drawing distorted via unconventional use of photocopier
