Artist Statement

I use digital tools alongside elements of musical improvisation, indeterminism and mechanics to produce primarily sound led artwork.      

Outside of commercial commisions and collaborations I explore concepts of randomness, emergence and ephemerality.    

I am currently exploring the use of Javascript as a medium for producing interactive online work.
