“The poet scans the landscape with his hermeneutic gaze, but it remains trackless, refuses to emerge into meaningfulness as a landscape of signs”. J.M.Coetzee – “Disgrace” – 1999 My aim is to search for portent and potential narrative in the overlooked and seemingly insignificant aspects of the everyday. We are all surrounded by the...

My practice engages with the constant development within the urban environment. I am fascinated by the way vast architectural projects are changing the nature and demography of given areas. Much of my recent work has centred around the London 2012 Olympic site and developments within the city of London. I seek to explore...

Many of my works utilise screen-printing techniques. I enjoy the notion that in screen-printing all three dimensional form is flattened in an instant. It is this idea that flourishes throughout my work unrestricted by the mediums used. For example, when casting concrete or painting plastics, I employ similar application techniques found in...

Although the medium is variable, it is always chosen in the context of its properties, the site or project.

I'm making art for over 20 years by now. For the last 10 years I devoted mostly my work for a public realm. I work with different kind of materials, mostly steel but also I use balloons with gas, kinetic motion or projection.

Like a child creates fantasy worlds through play, I create fictitious worlds that retain certain truths about our reality. I use maps, which are visual representations of our world; I cut out fragments and reconfigure the pieces as if assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Resultant work is a newly mapped out reality that comments on aspects of our world....

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 art originates from observations of the incidental characteristics of the built environment. I gather inspiration in the ordinary, everyday surroundings I pass through by capturing the accumulation of history left behind in disused or forgotten areas. Aged surfaces and neglected structures hold a variety of clues as to the interests,...

Drawing is the foundation of my practice that addresses the themes of site, context, belonging and memory. I often make drawings in series to explore and expand on my ideas.

Combining the mass produced and the unique is, for me, humorous and ironical and full of suggestion and contradiction. I am interested in the process of reproduction (printmaking, laser cutting, high tech and lo-tech) and also by the theme of reproduction (with reference to the ethical debate surrounding biotechnology, genetics, sex and...

ConceptsAs a public artist my work responds to the site and the brief, whether making bollards or large one-off sculptures. The way the site is used by the public is important. There are certain constants within my work, the use of light on and through the piece, the surface texture of the piece and, more recently, I have been using words/poems...
