In my work I construct allegorical settings in order to explore, comment upon and sometimes confront injustice and violence. 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...

Incorporated elements suggest both the ‘found’ and the ‘made’; both evidence of nature and culture. The ‘found’ referring to recognisable and generally familiar things or entities, which exist...

Initially the various images appear to be snapshots that make up a typical urban environment, and to an extent they are. However, the works are in fact a calculated juxtaposition of different photographs, which take the form of a...

My interests lie in making work that is both visually and emotionally stimulating. It seeks not only to transform the site it is made for, but also to transform the performance/behaviour of the viewer. The approach is not defined by material, or by process, more by the people, places and function that each opportunity offers. Fundamental to all my...
