Monsters / Ghosts

Digital photographic series, displayed as a wall projection, 2019

Series made with influence drawn from Donna Haraway’s writing on Chthonic ones, messy monstrous entanglements that defy clear categorisation.

Using the formal style of archival photography, removing context of scale or origin, I aim to create a ‘pensive’ image, with an aura freed from subjectivity or categorisation.
