PROJECT

My work is founded in the experiential landscape and explores the inter-relationship between people and place, focusing on issues of belonging and identity and examining what and where we might consider ‘home’. The projects on this website represent just a small part of an extensive collection of artworks generated by a range of projects that incorporate still and moving imagery, sound, text and performance.

Following a largely phenomenological methodology, embodied practice forms the basis of a proposition that holds to the premise that attention to the localised specificities of place is a productive means through which to reconsider our relationship with the experiential landscape.

I walk, listen and touch.
I taste the scent of the air, smell the dampness of earth.
Wandering and lingering;
I observe and explore, examine and wonder.

"Attracting me toward, wonder keeps me from taking and assimilating
directly to myself. Is wonder the time that is always covered over by the
present? The bridge, the stasis, the moment of in-stance? Where I am no
longer in the past and not yet in the future.”              Luce Irigaray

As I wonder and wander, a bodily intelligence is developed; my senses are alert to the immediate environment and prompt new discoveries, connections are made and memories stirred. Rational interpretation gives way to and combines with involuntary and more intuitive instincts and imaginative meanderings – other times, places and people slip into and through the here and the now. This is a place where, in the words of Irigaray, ‘I am no longer in the past and not yet in the future’.
