Artist Statement
My work is about multiple levels of perception, reality and narrative. I take a project-based approach to my work and photography forms the sketchbook of my practice, as well as the final outcome. In the last few years this has manifested in multi-disciplinary installation work combining photography, video and text. Place take a central role, often with personal experience as a starting point. I'm thinking about vantage point and an experiential view of physical and psychological landscape.
As an artist, my goals are to maintain a rigorous research-based practice that continues to push the medium of photography, while integrating sculptural and video component. |
