Raised in Scotland but now living in Milan, I peddle lo-fi social comment laced with hi-fi personal neurosis.
​
Photography is my way of out-running my demons and re-enchanting my world. Shooting in the shadow of an existential threat, I try to evoke a sense of psychic pain, disorientation and erosion of self. Capitalism's collateral roadkill in the age of post-truth and big data. The cracked mirror poetry of an ideological spell unraveling. Eschatological eye-candy. A blend of 'Guernica' and The Shangri-Las.

'The aim is to confuse rather than convince, to trash the information space so the audience gives up looking for any truth amid the chaos'. (Peter Pomerantsev)
