glistening
Suspended glass discs form a lily pad around a pond, swaying in the wind. At times they’re transparent and at others, reflective; projecting colour onto the surroundings. Changing light and weather conditions present a work that is constantly shifting

super low frequency attenuation deflector, #2
The installation plays with the vibration and frequencies of colour and light. Sunlight is exploited in the outdoor setting to produce shifting reflections and projections of colour which change as they meet and cross over at different points in the day. Despite the apparent calm nature of the installation, with its spectrum of pleasing colours,…

super low frequency attenuation deflector
There is a type of system implied by the discarded ventilation units. It produces and reflects visual noise – vibrations and frequencies produced by colour and light. The “noise” bounces between the glass elements which produce them. The steel elements form a system which includes acoustic attenuation, a type of dampening, but the glass, and…

audio video disco
There’s an urban myth which says that a school in the UK was forced to change its motto, “I hear, I see, I learn” because the Latin subjected it to ridicule! This piece plays with that motto “Audio Video Disco” as its title; the idea of gaining knowledge juxtaposed against the inherent humour we interpret…

sea painting: a paper’s journey
Lured by romantic notions, I took a roll of paper into the sea and out again onto the shore, reconnecting with nature physically through a performance of sorts which simultaneously produced a work on paper en plein air, thus resulting in an absurdity that is at one and the same time capable of being both…

all at sea
Completely lost or deeply confused, out of sight of land; as a nation surrounded by water, we are unironically “at sea”; our country has perhaps lost its anchor. A discombobulated nation; adrift in a dangerous or uncertain position. And whilst all around are playing, an insignificant boat, all at sea, sinks unnoticed.

taking a magnet for a walk 2
The magnet becomes a lens of touch. Attraction, resistance, force and weight; feeling the environment through the pull of a magnet on metal or the weight of an object on a string. One can reflect on the items collected as archaeological finds and muse upon what it says of our culture anthropologically.
-
taking a mirror for a walk
I use mirrors as lenses to reflect and distort. It is possible to confuse and disrupt the expected view at the same time as honing in on small sections or colours and representing them to an audience through documentation.

-
puddle walking
Feeling the resistance of the water. Listening to the water as it moves. There is a reconnection to nature and an embracing of touch. Droplets resonate, a strange order in the chaos. Splashing feels anarchic.

scraping a path / building a mound (after the rain)
From a series of art walks created during the UK Government imposed lockdown 2020 and the prescribed one hour of daily exercise outside. A path is scraped through the debris and a mound of blossom created at the end.

a different path

toilet press releases
When lockdown started toilet paper was in short supply so I gathered up all the available paper in the house whilst contemplating teaching my kids how to use a jug of water.

bubbling under
something is bubbling up from underneath but the world keeps turning
-
impact (imminent)
As the impact plays out, the balloon becomes balletic, displaying a certain beauty in its deathly end.
-
step (this way)
Hiding in plain sight, this sensitive installation, only occasionally makes its presence known to those who pass over it or care to take a closer look. This is a subtle intervention in a place of quiet reflection and contemplation, where we consider the small and everyday elements of life alongside the spiritual.
-
charred (remains)
The ritual of striking a match, to light a candle and think of a loved one, is commonplace in church. This artwork is intended to draw attention to this and act as a focus for further pause and contemplation.

what will be will be
The balloon is floating majestically in the air, but at times the falls to the ground and bobs along. It precariously hovers above mouse traps, occasionally triggering them.

constrained
the ball cannot comfortably fit in this environment, it cannot freely roll down the slope, or pass through doorways, it is constrained

ice trials
My work with ice evolved from reigniting an interest in drawing and taking it back to its most basic state. From utilising water to make subtle marks, I reintroduced colour to map the path of melting ice. Focusing on traces and marks left behind I aim to portray absent memories by revealing a transparent history.…
