Photography, poetry, collage and walking are central to my creative practice in which I apply aspects of psychogeography (the emotional response to the environment) to interrogate places, whether urban, rural or coastal, together with their connections and histories. I am also interested is ideas coming from the Surrealist, Dada and Abstract Expressionist movements as well as the cut-ups of William Burroughs and Brion Gysin. These ideas influence my creative work in terms of writing and art making. Photographers, such as William Eggleston, Daido Moriyama, Stephen Shore and Fay Godwin, have an effect on how I approach making photographs. I live within reach of the eastern end of the South Downs National Park, East Sussex, UK, and am a member of the Walking Artists Network.
