My art practice springs from an urge to "unfix".. looking upon my materials as processes, seeking threads of connections in the boundaries between information and transformation. Engaging with machinic space, I investigate "territoriality" as a way to unravel connective strategies and produce work and projects in creative research contexts of practice.
Recent work in fine art research probes notions of 'accident' and 'lines of flight', informed by issues of deterritorialisation and dislocation - see Ground Erasure. This focused on exploring the reterritorialising strategies of the contemporary artist operating with technology, examining "actor-network" as a method to balance machine-human interaction. It is the liminal zones between destratification and restratification - creating an abstract topology of intersections on the plateau - that inspired a context for my work. Connectivity continues to inspire my interest in relation to the cultural expression of the digital platform shaping and informing contemporary art.
I am interested in space as agency - how it acts and is acted upon. Similarly, the art process is agency for ways of revealing and understanding. Space is my material.. I am interested in the way space performs.. is produced, politicised, de-framed..
Concerned with tenuous boundaries, I create work constructing multiple contexts connecting the geo-spatial and temporal, testing gaps between controlled and spontaneous environments.
My work roams situations of interventional space using a variety of media from time-based to tangible, machine to paper, projection, photography, drawing, sculpture, actions, as ways to question how space is traversed.. empowered, transgressed, consumed, automated, expanded, connected, journeyed..
