Artist Statement

My work is predominantly three dimensional and of an emotional range. This range incorporates installation, video/film, land art, sculpture, painting, drawing and photography. I discover within physical materials, mediums, organized texts, theories and documents, art works that evolve in relation to a broader cultural, social and technological interest within the complex field of contemporary art.

The found, collected, manipulated, recycled and purchased materials formulate a dialogue within the works overall concept. I combine my skills of improvisation, preparation, investigation, manipulation and application of materials in space. I am influenced by the materialistic world, popular culture and much of what surrounds me.

My way of articulating ideas through materials and their physical properties becomes an investigative way of questioning and resolving my work. This allows me to create with poetic and humanist qualities, forms of choice whilst combining the themes and issues that interest me. Some works are free flowing; some utilize natural phenomena while others need time to materialize. The work produced is an insight of my personal experiences, knowledge, vision, energy, inventiveness, ability and sense of humour. It also aims to challenge boundaries within art, politics and popular culture as well as to convey critical faculties, intelligence and sensibility.
