Artist statement
Working through a process that uses archiving and intervention I seek to map the other life of a place or community in order to represent a multi- faceted place. Using the traditions of story telling and the processes of documentary, historical research methods, psycho geography and imagined other lives the work adopts a phenomenological approach to making sense of place. Following an intensive 'reasearch' process I make site specific interventions which seek to crystalise and responsed to the response have drawn out.
