My work explores my own experience of living with vertigo. Vertigo is a feeling of dizziness… a swimming in the head… figuratively a state in which all things seem to be engulfed in a whirlpool of chaos. Vertigo has been the driving force behind my fourth year work. I have created all my work around the common effects of vertigo such as, uncontrollable movement and blurred vision. Through the medium of photography I have created my collection of work.
With the influence of artist such as Barbra Ess, Francesca Woodman, Wolfgang Tillmans, Alexey Titerkenko etc., all these photographers have been hugely influenced my work, by making me look at pinhole photography and all the possibilities it holds. All my photographs are created through DSLR photography and analogue photography. My photographs show the isolation and chaos that this condition creates. Through these high contrast black and white photographs and video pieces, I want the viewer to experience what is now my new normality.
