'We make things so that they will in turn remake us.'1 Elaine Scarry
The starting point for my work is the interplay between the material and the immaterial. The daily interaction
between material, objects, imagination and numinosity fuels my practice. I am interested in the unseen, and
the subconscious narratives that interlace with the everyday; glitching and shape shifting between object,
memory and place. Past and future smashed together, public and private, ludicrous, ridiculous, flawed, yet
intrinsically profound.
In my pursuit to reveal these leaky, unstable spaces, I create objects, installations and films which seek to
crystallise and suspend incomplete narratives that invite the viewer to reflect on the spaces in between.
Influences come from theological sources and mediaeval iconography, through to the endless flow of mass
digital content, often mixed together to articulate the strange and fragmented landscape of the
contemporary self. I begin with the house, looking out, to an unsettling and melancholic world, using material,
object and film as a language to unpick what I see.
