Volcano

The Volcano series continues to look at early 19th century photographs, using Italian landscapes as a backdrop for images of escape, displacement and war. Italy has always been a crucial influence, both culturally and artistically, especially the early Italian Renaissance works of Giotto, Masaccio and Piero. Spending time in a small village in Abruzzo, the landscapes seep into my work, overlaid by images from my own life and other unfolding events.
