ARTISTS STATEMENT

With a background in theatre, film, music, and electronic engineering, and influenced by a visionary future of a technologically enhanced society, I look to push the barrier between moving image and the viewer experience.

Using a palette comprising video, sound, digital media, environmental and sculptural props, I create settings, which build on notions of play and interplay to engage and immerse the viewer in an experience that is uniquely generated and owned by them. Each piece is devised and developed on the basis of how the viewer may interact with it, and how skillfully I can drive the technology.

Works that exemplify this approach include Uncomfortable Silences, a dinner table installation with a twist in the tale, GOSSIP a digital flickerboard which puts out viewers quotes, truths and outright lies as its information; and Model Citizen, a site-specific, public artwork that has the 'public' as the focal point.
