statement

Experimental video and performance are my medium. Working intuitively I sketch with my camera, body or surroundings and allow the alchemy of the process to inform the final piece.

Aesthetically I remove aspects of realism from the video, intentionally stylizing the quality of the medium, often paradoxically creating beauty from the mundane or repugnant.

Conceptually my body of work investigates residue, that 'something remaining', which persists in the individual and collective psyche. The residue of trauma as somatic memory, the historical scars on the landscape and the palpable questions rose by absence.

My work manifests as large scale single and multi channel video and audio installations. Performance is incorporated within the concept of the video or in the physicality of the installation. My work also incorporates video stills, I manipulate these frozen images to create prints, utilizing the low resolution, which gives them such a unique aesthetic.
