My recent work has focused on advancing a photographic mode of visual research, with the goal of reconceptualising photography as a more subversive medium.

I like to present a simplified world broken down into colours and shapes, and let the viewers imagination fill in the gaps. As subject matter, I draw inspiration from everyday scenes, and local...

My work is concerned with time and memory, traces and absence. I use textiles and found garments to convey these ideas; fragments of lace and imprints of garments evoke traces and residues of lost and forgotten things. The memories we hold are fated to become selective, fragmented and faded, so this work is in part a reflection of the need to...

In many respects, my work is a sort of anti-entropy. I focus on the otherness of space in order to prevent its ultimate dissolution, promoting a spatial practice of radical alterity. Alterity is in danger. It is a masterpiece in peril, an object lost or missing from our system…[1] There is a crisis of alterity in which otherness is...

I explore moving image within an installation context. I examine the materials of mass media, not to find a true self, but to explore subjectivization inside the boundaries of modern culture. By manipulating materials that feed into contemporary culture I seek to reveal their function within society. I aim to challenge a belief in a core true...

Concepts My work has consistently sought to interrogate the experience of living, of 'being', through architecture's latent symbolism. Embedded meanings expressed through such oppositional properties as permanence or impermanence, spiritual or secular and in which walls delineate lines of inclusion and exclusion and the building acts as...

Concepts At present I am making paintings from photographs of shadows; sometimes the source material is included, but not always. This drives an ongoing concern with location, time, memory and space; making order out of chaos; searching to reveal hidden links; evoking feeling through absence. This also relates to an interest in 'imaginary...

There are particular places, which hold a sustained interest for me, and over a period of time these places have connected and merged becoming inextricably linked to states of mind, to particular events and memories.

My work explores the tension between the natural world and its grasping appropriation by human influence. It draws from traditional genres of painting together with the rusty surrealism of science fiction and the fantasia of abstraction to create a parallel world that seeks to not only question our perception of and relationship to nature, but...

I work with notions of the abject, constructing fabrics from human hair, creating a response of avid disgust and intrigue. In displacement from the body the hair changes drastically from soft, feminine, sexual, sensual to something that entices a disturbed reaction. The material and the process become integral entwined components, I work, weaving,...

My focus is the changing environment, revealed in the constant flux between man and nature, old and new.
