I’m an artist who makes honest work of gentle protest to provoke open thought and allow people accessibility to their own truths. A solo artist of devised work supported by a network of contemporaries principally concerned with the relationship and connection with the audience. Environmental issues, social politics, principally the impact of technology and it’s affect on the human function and interaction with the world around us.
I am an observer that exists on the outside allowing me to see and create honestly and purely, unhindered and undiluted by other agendas. A sense of ‘being the other’ allowing me the ability to keep the honesty and integrity that is essential to my practice.
