Artist statement
I am a UK based artist, designer and web developer and have exhibited in both real and virtual spaces, nationally and abroad. I produce documentary video from found and archive photography and use digital software to generate work from analogue media. Since 2000 my research has explored the liminal qualities of place, time and consciousness and my time-based work counteracts the expected fast-paced nature of contemporary culture.
The Re:Photo Series looks at public spaces and personal histories, exposing the relationship between past, present and future, place and memory, between networks and urban growth, emerging technologies and nature.
