“The imagery of The Accidental Theorist is less a set of pictures than a series of moments that have become independent of causation or function. It resembles a set of location shots for unmade films from lost scenarios. I am often drawn to spaces where I can prioritise poetic memory over concrete topographies.

Shooting largely on the same set of Portuguese beaches over a period of two years, I sought to distance myself from conventional spatial representation.
Shot with a an analogue 4x5 large format camera and making use of long exposures (but not long enough to register star trails) the images are surprisingly flat. “
