I am interested in creating work in public...

My practice considers where our disenchanted, secularised world a sense of the religious fails to be suppressed, either through unacknowledged ideological attachments (a dogmatic sense of what is correct or true) or through the seductive, mesmerising appeal of contemporary art.  The work arises from a fascination with the rhetoric...

The use of various methods, like travel, video, sound, choreography, performance and writing, sits in the expanded notion of my work – where new and obsolete technologies reflect one another as the analogue and digital swap places; modes of representation are questioned as they blend in each other or dissolve and reveal, or obscure,...

Two different universes that equally follow the laws of physics; one material, with mass and volume and the other a mathematical construct assembled from binary information.In this body of work these two worlds, the material and the digital, become a metaphor for the mind and the body, as well as for the physical...

At the core it is ephemeral, collapsible, reducible and rotting. Even the Ideal is soluble, drifting in the wash and wearing smooth with the lunar pull. All is as this, so what is different here is acceptance. Or rather, to not create artifice, to accept the matter. Matter is unstable and constant and accepting it is the...

With a background in science, the tension between those two sides of me (the artistic and the scientific) triggered most of my art work in recent years. Initially, I was making art on art (exploring questions like What is art? and How does art world work?). More recently, I explored the discrepancies between great scientific ideas and our everyday...

Having once been told by a drawing tutor that if you only draw the outside you only get the outside, I decided to investigate this further. Using the idea that the more you are given the less you get I strip back the visual to its essential elements before inviting the viewer in to flesh out the work again. Working with lines, loops, layers,...

What breathes? (Reflections on the art of Clara S Rueprich by Jan Kuhlbrodt, 2004) In his late work written in the mid-seventies, Experimentum Mundi, Ernst Bloch describes nature simply as the outside, where there is an enigmatic breathing, with the question „what breathes?“ occupying an impersonal gap. The outside definitely...

My work focuses on our built and social environment - planned societies and governed life, and the processes of urban planning driven by political and economic demands, whilst paying little regard to our needs and aspirations.

Plane wreckage falls from the sky after fifty years; enigmatic objects are found littering the earth; the cockpit is a riddle of dials impervious to interpretation. The drawings and objects here use a vocabulary of motifs: plane; bunker; tower; clearing; sky and sphere with materials that carry a weight of meaning such as ash, gold, lead,...

The visceral manipulation of matter and the capturing of perceived reality as a frozen entity are central to my ideas. My work questions what it is to alter the fabric of physical materiality, creating an artefact out of the unearthed structure and allowing my own powers as an artist to augment its state. The matter-drawings exist as digital...

It involves trying to interpret/translate philosophical theories like hors-champ /repetition/time-image/crystalline structures/décadrage but within my own aural-visual and...
