Casablanca 20000, Morocco
I am an Australian freelance photographer and new-media artist living in Casablanca, Morocco.
As a photographer I specialise in candid portraiture and street photography. Recently I have also started working with Cyanotype, making prints using digital contact negatives.
As a video artist constraint and repetition feature regularly in my process, which consists mainly of time-lapse footage created using still photographs. This work is driven by an exploration of the nature of time.
Before moving into new media I trained and worked as a theatre director and dramaturg. Following my graduation from the VCA School of Drama in 2003 I worked closely with Australian writers to direct and produce five works of new Australian writing in the years 2004-2009.
From 2012 until 2015 I was Exhibitions Project Coordinator at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image having worked on several major shows such ‘Shaun Tan’s the Lost Thing: From Book to Film’, ‘Hollywood Costume’, and most recently ‘DreamWorks Animation: The Exhibition’. Previously I have held positions at ACMI as an installation technician working on over 16 shows and as Acting Registrar (2009-2010) on the shows ‘Len Lye, Setting the Scene’ and ‘Dennis Hopper and the New Hollywood’.
