2021: Photography Imitating Art: Defining the Indefinite Nature of Appropriation, undergraduate thesis. A study building out from Postmodern theorist, Douglas Crimp’s presumption that Appropriation artworks fall under one of two headings: “Stylistic” or “Materialistic” Appropriation (this theory is specific to the physical act of appropriating). Photography Imitating Art takes another step back in the production process, looking at categorising Appropriation artworks based on how they came into existence: via “Concept” or “Research” (this theory is specific to the metaphysical thought-process that an artist goes through when creating Appropriative art).

2019: Dysmorph, (self-published) printed, bound and constructed by hand, repurposing leather from an old trench coat, capturing isolated body parts in an effort to remove the “self” from the image.
