About Elsewhere:

Elsewhere is a pastiche of moments, layered and counter balanced, from our shared contemporary existence. The images frame our modern sensibilities with a sense of almost recalled familiarity yet without specificity of time or space. Intimate, lyrical gelatine prints evoke timeless human dramas -- heart-stopping beauty, sadness shrouded in fog, warmth of a stranger's smile, loneliness of an unknown place ? welcoming viewers to their own sense of connectedness by these communal memories. An ongoing project, Elsewhere, has many chapters, plot lines, and unexpected narrative twists while moving the viewer forward
