Best described as an enthusiast with an inquiring nature, I am fascinated by the process of making and using both traditional and digital media to explore real and perceptual change through repetition, re-evaluation and reduction. Observation is central to my work and I use repeating images to look again at what may have been overlooked to produce layers of dialogue creating a visual narrative. I am currently working digitally to explore the use of Blender, Unity and Virtual Reality to create immersive art.
