Flower power - Limited Edition 1 of 7 Photograph

I am an Australian-based photographic digital artist, who uses my work to respond to issues pertinent in the media, popular culture, and in the way we experience the world. Ironic, facetious, and sometimes confronting, these images can be appreciated both for their surface of playful exuberance, and for the sagacious social critique. Working mostly in series, I drew much of my inspiration from growing up in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne with themes that explored some of the conflicts, disappointments and inequalities lurking beneath the veneer of everyday life. My work has also investigated concepts relating to domesticity, gender roles, social rituals, home ownership, alientation in work, home and family enivronment and the frustations felt by individuals by the demands of contemporary living. My earliest influences include, Andy Warhol, Howard Arkley, David LaChapelle and Cindy Sherman.
