My interest lies in the visual storytelling of people and places with a vivid cultural identity. My extensive travels across the globe have provided both the inspiration and backdrop for my work. My first solo exhibition was a documentary of eleven days spent in Havana, Cuba. I became engulfed by Havana’s sights and sounds, and was fascinated by the role that music played in people’s everyday lives.
Following my Cuban experience, I embarked on another project, this time documenting the Mississippi Delta in the USA where the blues originated. This work was exhibited in a solo exhibition at the Monash Gallery of Art and also shown in the Delta Blues Museum in Clarkdale, USA. This project was subsequently documented in a hardcover book Notes from the Mississippi Delta. Despite making a dozen visits within eight years, I do not claim to have a full comprehensive study of the Mississippi Delta, only a “footnote” of what the Delta holds.
