artist statement

My work focuses on the growth and decay of organic and structural systems and forms. Tragic and disjointed imagery collide, creating dense yet ambiguous environments. Complex, emotionally charged landscapes explore the concrete and ethereal through bodily systems and constructional diagrams.

I choose to combine the familiar with the ghostly and delicate. These ideas manifest as graphite drawings, animated video and sculpture.

This piece of work fits the theme because I feel that it has been a personal best in perpetuating new work and a new direction.
