I am photographer and printmaker working from my home studio and at Leicester Print Workshop. My interests focus on the historical trace of objects and places. How things, both domestic and environmental, can hold history, memory and meaning. By using photography and various print processes I explore the layers of human experience in places and everyday objects. The Thomas Millner series is inspired by a chain survey of the canal through south Leicestershire to Leicester city centre in the late 1800s.

The River Soar prints are inspired by the factories that grew up around the river and canal in Leicester. My Father’s Things series grew out of spending time with my father’s objects following his death; logging, photographing and making prints from objects he had kept, whilst considering the objects we keep, inherit, treasure and pass on. I am interested in the human need to collect and value our local and personal history; that telling the story of our past sooths us.
