The crushes, folds, creases and light I employ using paper are an attempt to challenge visual perception by creating still and surreal imagery that could be perceived as maps, clinical imaging, interiors or even portals.
My interest in Trompe l'oeil has inspired me to create a series of curious images, which I believe contain more than just illusion. The manipulation of light and paper and the exploration of chiaroscuro have encouraged me to investigate the role of photography as a reliable reproduction of reality.
