About Me
On graduating from the Fine Art BA Hons at University College Falmouth in 2000, my work was initially very much about highly repetitive techniques and algorithmic procedures applied to restricted units such as lines on a page or pieces of metal.
In 2001 I spent ten weeks at the Chitraniketan Artist Residency in Kerala, South India and exhibited the resulting work in an exhibition titled 'Nearly Everything' at a gallery in Thiruvananthapuram (see Under-Construction page). Prior to and since returning to Guernsey I have traveled extensively throughout South America and Asia.
My work experience includes a variety of professions such as architecture, media production and education. These jobs have always been supportive of and influential on the type of artwork I create.
In September 2006 I was nominated by Mollie Dent-Brocklehurst, art advisor to Roman Abramovich, and was then shortlisted through The Guardian's G2 supplement to exhibit 'Transformer' at The Saatchi Gallery's 'Your Gallery' exhibition at The Guardian's Newsroom Gallery in London.

Artist Statement
The work I create regularly involves highly labor-intensive, mantra-like procedures of construction and assemblage. As well as being simple, playful experiments the work often touches upon themes of impermanence, repetition, structure, pattern, scale and architecture. My work often takes the form of extremely fragile, temporary arrangements, with works subject to micro-apocalyptic events such as a light breeze or a falling leaf.
I am interested in creating artwork that acknowledges and utilizes aspects of the world around me at times disregarding their intended or standard function: objects, technology, software, food, sound etc… and using these elements as starting points for exploration.
