people of tumblr! I call upon you to aid me in the relaunch of my website! I’m working on some new content, which will be posted on both my tumblr AND this website, so stay tuned, check it out and let me know what you think! Would love to hear some feedback from the Tumblr community! Happy Friday folks!

It gives me great pleasure to announce that I am diving back into my photographic project entitled ‘friends’. For those of you that aren’t aware, I started this project in my final year of university and it involves my Facebook friends. If you’re interested, or would just like to know more details, please feel free to get in touch and I’d be happy to discuss the project further.

friends

the project evolved after adopting an analytical approach towards social theories, social media and identity. Drawing inspiration from Roman and Greek sculpture, the work produced is interwoven with neoclassical ideologies. Sculptural busts were known as physical avatars for personality and emotional expression, with facial features often believed to be the best conveyors of personality. In a similar way, portraiture became the tool here for conveying a sense of truth to the subject. By removing the 'mask' of Facebook and revealing the authentic characters beneath, friends becomes a portrayal of identity. The audience is encouraged to engage solely with the sitter. With no knowledge of cultural or social background, it highlights how alike, yet remarkably unique, each of us is.

I think there's something poetic about a field full of abandoned tanks being reclaimed by nature
