My aim is to generate an awareness of the experience of experience. Key to this is creating work that makes the viewer question what they see and explore how those perceptive processes relate to a wider interaction with the world. I am interested in the effects of spacing, pacing, layering and rhythm and how they might transform time, space, cognition and consciousness into events.

I work with moving image, drawing in two and three dimensions, text, objects and sound.

I am interested in how we traffic with our environment – how we relate to, and in, an increasingly complex world. As distractions increase, we distract ourselves further from the world. I explore how we perceive and manage the world through virtual or actual structures, narratives and nomenclature.

My working processes draw on phenomenological reduction, bracketing a part of the world and our structured understanding of it.

I incorporate elements of contradiction to engender a sense within the viewer of their own role in the existence of a work; narrative and non-narrative; stasis and movement; temporality and atemporality; nothing and something; actually knowing and thinking we know.
