statement

Escapism, reverie, altered states of consciousness, thresholds of attention and recalling memory and place are recurring themes in my work.

In the projection pieces I use light and shadow and soot as my medium. Rotating, flickering and dissolving light reveals fragments of the image at a time and affects the time it takes for the viewer to see the image in its entirety. I am interested in the play between two states of perception, between shadow and light, the defined and undefined, positive and negative, wakefulness and sleep.

The drawings on glass are made with smoke. They are conceived as after-images, the unstable nature of the medium alluding to something fugitive and unattainable. Using layers and fragmented imagery I hope to present the viewer with a visual journey and a space for contemplation.

In a time of increasingly sophisticated visual experience, a backward glance at the pre-digital age reveals new meaning in outmoded technologies and through my work I question whether it is still possible to confound the senses through the simplest and most ephemeral of means.
