Description: 
Detail: photograph in box. Photographer's statement: "My practise interrogates the genre of still life photography, highlighting how the medium reinvents itself. Utilising the photographic studio as a space to create and construct, I produce graphic imagery to explore the innovative qualities of the medium. These abstract photographs seek to create an illusion, whereby they appear to be computer generated imagery, acknowledging the digital processes that both threaten and confirm photography as a medium, fundamentally developing the way we deal with images. These works explore the moment of encounter, asking the viewer to question and challenge the veracity of the photograph, at a time when digital technologies have heightened a crisis of faith in the medium."
