Roadside (2011-12)

The Roadside series documents my encounters with roadkill while cycling the country lanes of Norfolk and Suffolk.  It’s not always easy to convey the “seriousness of looking” when presenting what some might regard as gratuitously gory imagery.  The bike’s inclusion in these photographs served, I hope, as a makeshift framing device that marked each image as an actual encounter with a particular creature’s lost life.

Works from the Roadside series have been exhibited in Australia, Germany and the UK (usually as unglazed giclée prints measuring 46 x 61 cm).  They are also discussed in some detail in an essay by Julia Schlosser in the journal Tierstudien.
