The photographs in A Field Guide to Happiness present an ongoing search for something we all agree exists but no one can prove – happiness. Presented as evidence of intentional and unintentional everyday actions that, both singularly and as a sum of their parts, evokes something close to a smile.

Photographically the project follows motifs of colour, form, and serendipity within the ordinary, but also, plays with the idea of language, abstraction, and satire as a whole. Since we cannot know other peoples happiness definitively, the word becomes malleable, leading to the smallest, and the largest, as a cause for happiness.
