Diesel & Dust is a personal project that aims to document the UK canal network. The project is an exploration of the 2,000 miles of waterways that make up a significant part of our nation’s heritage as an industrial site, as well as a modern recreational park for boaters, walkers, and others. The project also reflects on the personal experience of living as an itinerant boater, who travels through England at 4mph.

As a photographer and visual artist, I find my inspiration in landscape, history, and memory. My approach to my work is investigative and curious, with a particular focus on exploring our relationship with the spaces we inhabit, especially the landscape. I am intrigued by the way we interpret history and represent it artistically, and how this relates to the social constructs and our collective identity.
