"I am interested in art that can realise the extrasensory, humanise the abstracts of the macrocosm and the microcosm and defamiliarise the known.  My work and research to date has centred on the consideration of landscape as a medium through which to represent or allude to these larger physical or metaphysical zones. Through this immanence I hope to address the spiritual in a way that is relevant to a secular age.

I believe that grounding these vast concepts in the language of the everyday does not diminish them, on the contrary, these associations are necessary to re-enchant our experience of the world and to confront complacency.  Through an equal recognition of darkness/light, silence/sound, stillness/movement I hope to achieve a more lucid experience of space and time."
