ABOUT
I approach my practice in an enquiring,
investigative, experimental and research-minded manner. Artefacts, situations, and stories I encounter define my decisions and
methods; as a result there is truth in the midst of fiction within my practice.
My work is not a culmination of my research or journeys, but rather a series of
outcomes, which although complete artworks in themselves are not concluding.
In an attempt to explore the notion of humanness in its absurdity, banality, tragedy, resilience and humour, using the re-presentation of past moments through recognised situations or imagery displaced from their original context, familiar and unfamiliar are fused to create affectionate parodies of the human condition.
Bretons' view of the artist always searching under the ‘illusion’ that they are ‘exploring’, only to relearn a fraction of what they have already forgotten, has enlightened the way I think about what it is to be an artist.
