            Exploring ideas and work that have their own physicality, time and space has become a key element in my practice. The experience of immersion in a completely alien environment has been instrumental in the generation of material for this work. I have developed an interest in sculpting space with video, using everyday materials and elements in real time to determine the nature of the artwork. Tending to abstract and pure form and using elemental aspects of the visual experience, I try to create immersive, self-reflective environments that are connotative rather than denotative.

             My explorations deal with the convergence of seemingly disparate ideas where each narrative lead is stripped to its bare minimum both in content and aesthetic. Naturally occurring systems, mathematics, mythologies and magic realism, often influence the framework in which these ideas are then synthesized.
