My Artwork explores memories that remain embedded in the landscape, recording parallels which intersect between spatial hierarchies, ecology and new consumer topographies. This is done with a view to gaining a deeper understanding of space and human experience, wherein a new found land, a new territory of performance is constructed, manifested through the perception of place, and a common consciousness.

The form and elements of my artworks; and the use of the material are fundamentally inherent, to understanding the subtext of physical methods of process, performance and installation. My practice gravitates towards multiple approaches, defining a sequence of narrative, explored primarily through writings and humorous interplay; developing a space in which memory can be negotiated as a real defined object.

The aim of which is to rediscover and open a dialogue to an ever-changing sequence of diminishing landscapes, how these states exist and can be accessed through stored energy contained within. With an emphasis being placed on void and liminal spaces, an edge-land between permitted territories; where boundaries dissolve, a continuous thread which lies between the past, present and future.
