Bio
I have recently graduated from the University of Brighton in Photography, where I received a first. For my final major project I looked at my own family and their relationship with our Jewish Heritage. The project (03.XII.1924 von Dienen Eltern) is an uncompromising excavation of my family's history, in familiar and unfamiliar spaces, made through dialogues, performances (sittings) and 'encounters' with documents and objects, uncovering the complexities of remembering and forgetting.
While the degree show was on I received an email from Grace Robertson who had visited the degree show on that day:
"Among so much that was well done your work stood out in a class of its own. You wept in your own defining image, but sentimentality was absent when it would have been all to easy to fall into that trap and the work was far more powerful as a result. But above all, those memories were held together by the excellence of your photography. Every interior image and its history gave me a deepened experience through your handling of light and shadow; and the hands images came across with complete authority.
I do hope you intend to go on using such empathy and talent on people."
