Statement
I am a multi-disciplinary artist, I completed a BA in Fine Art in Liverpool in the early 1980’s, then went onto a career as an Art Director in Film and TV Production Design. In 2019-2021 I completed an MA in Fine Art at UCA Farnham. My art practice incorporates sculpture, drawing, film and installation.
My work explores the notion of a space, actual or imagined, as an object which could ‘contain’ anything, it investigates the idea of a place into which an individual can bring their own objects, experiences, memory and real or imagined events, therefore changing the function of that space. These core themes are explored using film, installation and scale models.
The production designer and filmmaker use the scale model to change and control the image or environment they wish to create. Walls can be pushed out, removed, objects added and moved around and false perspectives created. The scale model gives the designer control over the creation of a real or imagined space and remains itself an uncanny object both familiar and unfamiliar blurring the narratives between the two.
Playing with scale is important in realising the work as well as the utilisation of the model both as a tool and as a sculptural object.
Drawing is an integral part of my work, each piece operating as a subtitle to other areas of my practice, forming part of my research into home and memory.
