ConceptsThe patterns, rhythms, forms and colours of nature in a microscopic and macroscopic sense have always inspired me. Peripheral vision, a momentary glance at things overlooked or discarded will often spark an idea - something from nothing. In a chemistry of vision, memory and observation, the imagery becomes a sort of visual poem, a...

The work is primarily concerned with exploring the tendency to nurture habit, ritual, routine and even obsessive repetition in a modern world teetering on the brink of dystopia where possibilities and choices are seemingly endless. My practice uses a wide range of media chosen to suit my ideas including drawing, animation, print, performance and...

The fragile resemblances that I produce with their torn, folded and glued sections are crude, insubstantial, spray painted copies, three-dimensional jigsaws, connected and disconnected fragments of machines displayed as museum artefacts. They fit into...

My work is predominantly installation based and relates to my interest in our relationship with places.

My work consists of divergent visual forms, from stand-alone photographs and meticulously handcrafted collages, digital prints to semi-functional architectural/sculptural works and large-scale installations.

My work is abstract, and my recent work has been made using the chine collé printing technique where collage items are put through a printing press. With these works, and in other works, I explore substances such as paint, paper and other materials, including colour, as they appear, without a lot of intervention from the artist, so that the...

Our relationship with the past is changing. Through subtle coercion, driven by commercial interests and rapid developments in consumer technology, we are being encouraged to loosen our grip on the physical and material with the promise of a clean, organised and hi-tech future – living orderly lives free of clutter and the traces of what we...

Through an examination of mundane moments in time I investigate how meaning and significance are attached to banal elements of the everyday. This can include subjects as diverse as: shopping malls, peeling paint, drains, or sand scattered on a footpath. By incorporating varying amounts of participation I compress, or extend, the interaction a...

My work examines the expression of emotional and bodily states. I understand expression as something transient and being formed through experience. In this way expression in my work is not intentional or a gesture - it is the result of material transformations, the interplay between process and medium. The artistic process itself, its impetus...

My bold and vivid abstract paintings are born out of theories of geometry and numbers. The lines of the composition are brought to the fore as bold lines criss-crossing the plane bouncing off the edges in defined trajectories. In the recent work masking tape is employed to create crisp graphic aesthetic. Representation is eschewed in favour of a...

Although my work has serious intent, I poke fun at myself and use humour, pathos and the unexpected to engage my audience. I have used a range of media, and shown installations, drawings and work in new media. I have...

Artist Statement My work has a continuing preoccupation with museums, collecting, fragility and transience. Inspired by family history, personal memorabilia often become incorporated into the forms and structures I create.
