Artist’s Statement: At the centre of my work is an enquiry into the way we experience time and place and the way we make our mark and leave traces. My work is usually site responsive; ideas are triggered through multi sensory aspects or through points of entry within research, found objects and narratives. I work across disciplines to respond both site specifically or create responses to, the situation of a space or place through the play between ideas, materiality and process. Notions of authenticity, liminality and the in-between underpin my ideas. I am interested in the experience and creation of ‘moments of encounter’ moments that sit on the realms of the felt and unseen where we experience suspension or pauses. These are central themes through which I search and explore ways to express notions of presence and absence, the material and immaterial. [Source: Axisweb]
