Creature Comfort

Creature Comfort stems from a growing, slightly obsessive fascination with the notion of home. It began during the years of confinement, when indoors became the enforced norm, and has followed me through a series of moves and domestic upheavals as I settled into life in London.

Home appears as both promise and construct: a space of warmth, safety, and control, yet also one of tension and confinement. The idea of the home as a “castle” lingers, though it feels increasingly distant—each space holding its own quiet forms of enclosure.

Shot primarily on large-format film, the work brings together domestic scenes, still lifes, and self-portraiture, attending to the details and oddities of intimately known spaces. The images move between the comforting and the stifling, where time settles into dust, stains, and routine.

The series reflects six years of domestic life: charming, uneasy, and persistently irksome. Now I must move.
