      Artist Statement

      My social practice creates encounters that explore the everyday, especially for those who may not step into the art gallery. I encourage them to look afresh at their own local and global space, to consider and reflect on their everyday experiences, stories, moments in life. Looking at and digesting unfamiliar material in a familiar way creates shared experiences of art as research, art as education in its broadest sense.
