My work explores ideas relating to human vulnerability; impermanence, fragility and the essential dichotomy between absence and presence, the concrete and the illusory. I work in series and integral to each body of work is the conceptual alignment between subject and method. The works are often hybrid, they contain elements of print, painting, drawing and photography both within their construction and in their conceptual foundation. Each series uses imagery researched both within its original context (for example, camouflaged buildings from World War II or antiquated medical machinery) and also within my own interpretive processes.
