Black and white photographs

My body of work, Urban Tessellation, uses the repeated patterns and distortions of architectural structures to investigate both the stark beauty of the urban environment and the malleability of the photographic artform. My artmaking practice of abstracting shapes, lines and patterns was developed through focusing on the close detail, with the intention of engaging the audience and challenging it to question the subject matter. In my research I developed my understanding of the Bauhaus design movement, leading me to appreciate a new style of architecture.

My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Max Dupain, Olive Cotton, the Bauhaus Movement.
