00 — Statement
Returning to the same mountains, year after year—observing what remains, what retreats, and what the landscape remembers.
01 — Selected Work
Ways of
seeing the field
A selection of photographic and moving-image work shaped by altitude, weather and time.
02 — Long-term Projects
A landscape
is never still.
Projects are not destinations. They are questions revisited over many seasons.
03 — Field Notes
What the field
allowed me to see
Unfinished observations, changing weather and moments that sit outside the final portfolio.
