About
The Professional…
I am a socially engaged text based artist. My work is informed through the linguistic and visual imagery we use to create and make sense of the worlds we inhabit.
Much of my work is focused on memory and identity both from a cultural and personal viewpoint. This creates a crossover for my community based work, where much of the art I produce is socially engaged and site specific.
With a background in therapeutic work dealing with trauma my artistic skills are complimented by soft skills- in particular an ability to engage and affect change in a wide range of participant groups
Text based installations explore the conflict within the personal and cultural agendas of our emotional baggage and psychological heritage.
I utilise a variety of media, technologies and approaches in order to realise the artwork and whether using dust, parquet, paint or pixel as medium the text and its imbued meaning is always paramount.
The Personal…..
A gardener, poet, dreamer. I am becoming increasingly fascinated by digital/social media and how this mediates communication and its’ meaning – from both the sender and recipients view point. Back in the real world I love my movies, the european stuff mostly but that’s not to say a bit of hollywood tosh doesn’t have its’ place. I also love growing my own veggies but that’s a constant struggle with free range chickens scratting around and digging everything up. I’m into typography, icelandic electro-ambient music, cooking, the whole environment and equality movement and experiencing the rich continuum of life.
