I am a micro-climate photographer happiest mucking around with the detritus of life. While investigating compost, landfills and other aspects of our material world, I create visual meditations on the power of regeneration, transformation and renewal.

For the past two decades, I have been exploring what it takes for a suburban family of four to live sustainably. Over time, the ritual of composting transformed climate grief to joy, giving voice to creative activism and a ‘reframing’ of self. In fact, compost is my muse and metaphor and is where I go to make sense of the world. Photography enables me to share the beauty I see in our waste and the possibilities for joy embodied in the apparent mess, whether at the landfill, in the attic, or in my backyard.

My work offers deeply personal narratives about memory, consumption and our relationships to people, place and possessions.
