'When you wade into this dark fluid, a kind of milk without nurture, you disappear' (Roni Horn, 2013.)

This series reflects on our relationship with nature and particularly that of water, exploring the parallels that can be drawn between the element and our own subconscious. Water has a myriad of symbols; from purity and life, to metamorphosis and transformation. Water is a nourishing entity, we come from water; yet it is more than life giving, it is also life taking. What happens when water becomes what we fear, when water becomes black? These images create a space in which we can get lost within it’s very vastness and what is has to offer us. In this series of images I create a paradigm of milk, women, physical darkness and black water to construct a loose vernacular of mythology that effectively incites a sense of mystery. My photographs intend to point to ideas that are beyond the frame, creating a fictional space that allows these ideas of experience, our bond with nature, life, death, fear and desire, to play out; where we can reconnect our somewhat severed relationship to what effectively makes us human beings.
