Artist Statement: I am interested in evoking both the familiar and unfamiliar - the feeling of the uncanny. Audiences may find they recognise some aspects of my work, while others may remain a mystery. As an artist I am interested in lost memories, history, meanings and cultures, and experimenting through various media. While some of my work investigates these themes some looks at the aesthetics of the natural in an unnatural situations which is so embedded in history and cultures and collective memory which we could all identify and recognise.

 

Techniques: painting (oil and acrylic), paper, print making, photography, video making, instillations, and 3D, using various materials.
