Using sculpture, text, photography, moving images and other media my work explores relationships between time and space using both material and immaterial approaches. I am interested in making work which uses location, site and atmosphere with reference to cinematic spaces and narratives in order to cause friction and potential between ideas of the real and the imagined. Alongside this lies an interest in ideas of projection and reception and the flux between the two, using the relationship between the seen and the hidden to reflect on notions of presence and absence and simultaneously distance and proximity.

I am interested in structures and themes which surround our ideas about place, such as utopian and dystopian spaces and I am looking at both the urban and rural aspects of this. For some time now my interest has been centred on a notion of the ‘Terrain Vague’, this has become an umbrella term involving many aspects of my practice - essentially this is a concern with two elements which are place and agency, these elements are constantly being explored and questioned through my research and output. Terrain Vague could be proposed as a productive zone, one which exists geographically and psychologically, I am very interested in the relationship between these two ‘states’ and how they affect our thinking around contemporary issues such as environment and the individual.

I use a very diverse approach in the production of works, my research output uses video, installation, sculpture, text and other media which involves the viewer/reader with a complex  and layered practice, one which shifts its material and means in order to challenge notions of established and given forms. This approach can be seen as essential, my aim is for the output to question notions of the recognisable and the sequenced, it aims, to some extent, to disrupt. I use a wide range of media, including texts, drawings, film, video, sound and installation, to explore the perception of time, space and scale. My artworks frequently appropriate and manipulate images and literary narratives taken from art history, popular culture and, above all, cinema. The deconstruction of cinematic materials reveals a special interest in film language's structural sediment rather than its narrative articulations. The resulting ambiguity engenders a type of deconstruction of the notion of the sublime.

I am currently developing and researching 'Terrain Vague' a research event to be held at SRC, UCL in March 2020. This will be a four day exhibition with a symposium over a two day period, with invited speakers centred around my concerns with territory, agency and landscape. The UCL departments of Human Geography and Architecture will be participating with speakers from those areas.
