I view myself as a scavenger of the visual world. I find images as much as construct them. The accidental, the awkward, or badly composed are as much part of my work as the subject itself.
I believe as an artist that the banal can be elevated, the discarded can be recovered, and the commonplace can be dramatised. My documented conceptual performance works attempt to embed photographic imagery with text; to extrapolate unseen narratives and circumstances. Both the photograph and the remembered depend upon and equally oppose the passing of time.
The work places the beholder in the moment, their moment, prompting narratives relating to self-position and previously embedded relevant events.
