About The Artwork

The ‘Injurious Development’ series uses old family photos, combined with contemporary animal photography to create ridiculous and hypothetical evolutionary stages. “Man selects for his own good; Nature for that of the being to which she tends” - Charles Darwin, ‘Origin of Species’ This quote is an integral part of the work, focusing on Darwinian ideas of natural selection and the human desire to modify their physicality. These images are intended to reinforce the fact that we are the most recent page in a beautiful novel of human development, questioning the need for body modifications; whilst questioning the boundaries between humans and animals. This is an ongoing series, currently at about 70 pieces, all available for sale upon contact. These pieces are sold already framed, but am open to discussion on variations in size. There are currently 10 editions of this piece left available.

1990, England By questioning social norms, contemporary culture and current artistic practices, my practice is meant to challenge what we expect from our society and ourselves. Primarily my practice stems from an examination of what it is to be human. Physically, Metaphysically and Socially. Although the main body of my current work deals with digital photography and photographic manipulation, I allow the idea to inform the material, rather than the other way around. I am particularly interested in Deleuzian notions of the body (as examined in my undergraduate dissertation 'Plastic Trauma: How Physical Interventions to the Human Body are Perceived in Contemporary Art', for which I won the University of Plymouth's 2013 Critical Studies Award) and Darwinian notions of evolution. I utilise theories such as these to underpin my work. Narrative also features strongly in my practice, in a variety of forms.
