Statement
I have been making work since 1998; to date the purpose of my work has been to address issues that are often considered as mundane or commonplace. My work celebrates everyday domestic objects, exploring what is often taken for granted. I am interested in how memory shifts our view of the world we live in and how these are represented through artistic studies. Through my process I carry out investigations into the fantastical or magical placing them where you least expect it.
I have a particular English, eccentric sensibility where I place myself within the frame, allowing me to take responsibly and clear ownership over the content. I care about the aesthetic, which I work with mixing minimalism with charity shop kitsch.
When constructing a performance for the public arena, I am concerned with producing a show that has very readable visual images, within a firm context so there are clear links throughout. Through my projects I have collaborated with artists of many forms, enabling skill sharing and dialogue around content. I mix storytelling, poetry, architecture, archaeology, archiving, sound, movement experimenting with theatrically and dramaturgy. With a particular interest in how the audience engages and responds to the ephemeral experience and what they take away with them, this I feel is at heart of my practice.
