The site has two main sections: Gallery showing themed exhibitions of my art that changes every few months, and Projects showing my video animations, some examples of projects with schools, and a site-specific public art commission.
My art is an ongoing observation of the patterns, marks, and textures left behind on the structures and surfaces of the built environment. I am interested in capturing the insignificant yet revealing characteristics of a place before they're transformed or lost by the anonymous effects of the new. I look for tonal variations in broken pavements; twisted and fractured reflections in windows; worn or peeling paint on walls; and the telltale scraps of text left in forgotten places. All of these will be varnished with a film of daily life, bearing witness to the effects of weather and the passage of time. These images provide compelling clues to the rituals and habits of modern life and the impact of popular culture on the urban landscape.
My practice crosses several visual art forms, often combining or mixing media to re-create the layered and textured surfaces that inspire me. Sizes given for the works on paper are the actual image size and do not include the paper border or framing; sizes for the mixed media works are the edge to edge measurement. Please contact me using the comments form for further information about my work.
