Artist statement
ConceptsMy work is experimental, utilising sound, movement and light. I frequently use electrical goods and household objects to construct various optical devices, including TV diffusion systems which create hypnotic streams of imagery. I use materials from the natural world often combined with domestic products to create a metaphysical narrative.
