I’m a multi-media artist working sculpturally, developing modular works that can be deconstructed and reconstructed in different arrangements. Exploring various joining methods such as magnetism, the pieces are held together in tension somewhere between attraction and repulsion. Measurement is addressed with the literal use of rulers exploring themes of control, complicity and judgement. Rhythm and repetition are key themes running through the work.
The sculptural works are flexible and can be re-imagined or repositioned to facilitate a continually evolving conversation with both the geographical and psychological spaces they occupy. Combining readymades with sculptural metallic elements and sometimes concealed audio via electrical transducers, sometimes external speaker arrangements, the work has an inner electric energy. The audio, from field or voice recordings integrated within the work combines the ephemeral with the physical. Mining the subconscious via the mechanisms of memory through dream recall and remembered experiences reveals how trauma is reflected in my own use of words as well as the words of those who I interview. I’m interested in secrets and the unspoken. Themes of loss, longing and hope as well as violence are universally understood bridging the gap between the work and the listener. Making the invisible audible, bringing fragments of experiences together in a rhythmic form, investigating patterns of language reinforcing the power of repetition to influence our behaviours. The dynamic that arises from listening encourages an engagement with internal subconscious dialogues and places the viewer in a bodily sensorial space.

The flexibility of construction and modular approach affords a continual evolvement of each work that can respond to different spaces and environments.
