Artist Statement

I am an interdisciplinary artist who keenly observes the world. I look to

hidden places finding interest and fascination, collecting material for

inspiration and manipulation. I record sounds, images and ideas to

compose into performances, installations and sound art, layering multiple

elements, colliding, often jarring and distorted. I enjoy working both alone

and collaboratively building up work intuitively, editing ideas and material

led by the process of devising. During this process a narrative can start to

become evident, often surprising me, sometimes revealing things about

me and about the world.

My physical presence is key to the making and the experience of my

work. I challenge myself during durational mark-making, walking and

repetitive body actions that aim for a heightened state of concentration. In

this state I try to become open to the emotional and the subconscious

layers of myself as an individual, and wider social and cultural contexts.

I like to disrupt with the hope of creating something unexpected, offering

work that is open to interpretation, work that is impermanent with the

memory of the experience being the lasting outcome for the audience.
