Domestic Drift

Domestic Drift is concerned with everyday life - the ordinary activities, states of mind and conditions of existence that fill time outside the moments of drama and spectacle.

It examines the sense of ordinariness inherent in the repetitive, habitual work of home while trying to appreciate the experience as simultaneously mundane and precious.

I studied in London, Canterbury and Belfast and earned an MFA Photography with distinction. My work has been exhibited in Ireland, London, New York, Houston and Delhi and been featured in Lenscratch, Prism, Source and The Guardian. I was selected for Saatchi's New Sensations 2011, Platform 2012 at Fotomuseum Winterthur in Switzerland and Magenta's Flash Forward 2012.

A photography lecturer since 2003, I am also currently working on Verges, a new project about weeds with support from the Arts Council.
