As both an artist/person I celebrate creative tangents and deny categorical chains.
Projects look to the creative and social potential of directionless meanderings, spontaneity, obsession, dreams, the unknown and the yet-to-be-discovered as a means of investigating cultural structures.
Artistic engagement takes form in a multitude of ways.
Performance in the vain of Psychogeographic interventions and Situationist and Automatiste style musings are used, for instance, to 'shovel snow'.
A 2D studio-based practice allow for a more interior art making process resulting in large collage works and paintings.
