The starting points for my work vary from images and objects to abstract forms and spaces, but the aim for the work is the same – to invest the material with a psychological and emotional charge.

'What haunts us is something inaccessible from which we cannot extricate ourselves. It is that which cannot be found and therefore cannot be avoided'.

Maurice Blanchot, The Space of Literature

In addition to my studio practice, I am involved in other art related projects including curation and critical writing.  In 2005 I set up Exhibit-K, a company that provides insider access to, and knowledge about the contemporary London art scene. See www.exhibit-k.org for more information.
