Artist statement

Basically, I stick things together, and make some stuff- which I often assemble into other things.

Ive watched a lot of telly, read some books, both text books and novels, seen films, been places. There are many archetypes employed in my works. The work like myself is reactionary, I am very much interested in our experience both mediated and real.

My roots are Diasporic. Myself, I was South African Born, my family histories- like a lot of families are tales of deterritorialization, migration, displacement and assimilation.

The work references anthropological history, media and consumer culture, I reflect and inflect histories, real or otherwise.
