I am interested in the way we see and categorise objects, in the lives of objects and in unsealing their form, and so reformulating it. The work has a seesawing quality to it as the formal relational concerns are countered by the often quotidian materials and through the process of experimentation. I am drawn to objects and colours that have...

High visibility, reflective colour and fluorescence are some of the phenomena that work their way into my practice. I'm interested in these materials and colours that we encounter every day, those that are just outside our peripheral vision in order to alert and catch our attention. My practice explores questions around what constitutes as the...

“Let no thought pass incognito, and keep your notebook as strictly as the authorities keep their register of aliens.” ― Walter Benjamin Drawing is central to me. Not only is it at the core of my practise as an artist, but, possibly more importantly, it allows me to be tethered to and in the world. Moreover, these two areas are in...

The emphasis of my previous work has been the use of abstraction to portray a more atmospheric and ethereal view of our natural world. In order to achieve this I have used my observations of the natural environment and interpreted them through the use of colour, texture and line in order to create the sensation of oneself being encompassed within...

These works are concerned with the abstract qualities of space, colour and form. I wished to create a sensation of movement and energy in complex spaces. I work directly in an intuitive state, allowing brush marks, colours and forms to be dictated by the sounds and images of the natural world, whilst reducing their visual complexity down to the...

Most of my work could be described as Spatial Drawings. I use thread - or the warp released from the loom - to draw in the third dimension. The warp as a not yet fully materialized fabric hovers somewhere between matter and thought. This pending dynamic state is shaped by light as an integral part of my work. There's a visible world and an...

My practice is versatile and not bound to any definitive subject or medium. I generally start a piece of work with something I've heard, read or written, therefore speech, words or defying language play a pivotal role. Misunderstandings and illusions are also extremely important, they infiltrate my work and frequently layer a sense of the uncanny....

A Visual Discourse on Maternity Installations and Subverted ObjectsMy current art making practice is a three dimensional visual exploration of the dilemma of what it means to inhabit a female body.

Using techniques such as basketry, sewing, needlework or Japanese armour...

I'm interested in how forms and spatial relationships hold onto meanings, even when abstracted away from the world. I see my method as a form of phenomenology; as a way of grasping the world of phenomena and their meanings and as an exercise in stripping away the extraneous to arrive at the essences of (visual) experiences. A writer who has...
