"I force myself to contradict myself, so as to avoid conforming to my own taste"

Marcel Duchamp

Experimentation, drawing and making form the backbone of my practice.  

I am simply concerned with making 2 & 3 dimensional work where each piece makes its own journey from the carefully considered through combative or repetitive actions and chance occurrences in order to reach some sort of conclusion.

My public art work is location-led and site specific with a focus on engaging with people as well as historical and geographical contexts.
