Artist Statement

I have embraced methods and themes of experimentation and study. I look for connections that can be made between the natural world and the unseen reality that underpins it. In my work, I explore emotions and perceptions of the society that shapes our visual culture. Having engaged subjects as diverse as media manipulation, social frustration and conceptual perception of reality. My work reproduces captured images, objects and visual signs, arranging them into new conceptually layered pieces.
