The Art that I create is the result of experimentation and play. These experiments can involve highly repetitive and mantra-like procedures or can be simple, spontaneous responses. These experiments include dense and garishly coloured drawings, ephemeral and architectonic installations, meticulous sound edits and mythical, never-ending scenes created from looped video clips.



///////About Myself

On graduating from the Fine Art BA Hons at University College Falmouth in 2000, my work was initially very much about highly repetitive techniques and algorithmic procedures applied to restricted units such as lines on a page or pieces of metal (see the Transformer series on my website).

In 2001 I spent ten weeks at the Chitraniketan Artist Residency in Kerala, South India and exhibited the resulting work in an exhibition titled 'Nearly Everything' at a gallery in Thiruvananthapuram (see Under-Construction on my website). Prior to and since returning to Guernsey I have traveled extensively throughout South America and Asia.

My work experience includes a variety of professions such as architecture, contemporary media production and education. These jobs have always been very supportive of my life as an artist and have all had a massive impact on the type of artwork I create. Architecture has always been an influence on my work; this can be seen in my use of architectonic models (both digital and physical) and technical drawing skills.

Having spent the last three years working three days a week as a lecturer in Art and Digital Media I have had the opportunity to develop my knowledge in various areas of creative digital technology. I am currently very interested in the combination of traditional art-making techniques like drawing and sculpture with digital technology such as audio and video production and digital graphics. Amongst other things, my current work is very much a digital response to living in Guernsey (see the ‘Bunker’ photomontages and animated drawings on my website).

In September 2006 I was nominated by Mollie Dent-Brocklehurst, art advisor to Roman Abramovich, and was then shortlisted through The Guardian's G2 supplement to exhibit 'Transformer' at The Saatchi Gallery's 'Your Gallery' exhibition at The Guardian's Newsroom Gallery in London.
