Statement:

I am interested in how the small events of our lives echo with the wider world of current and historical events. How they affect us, how we affect them, and the artefacts that are created in the service of our memories and legacies. I work in a variety of media, often tracing the areas wherein physical space becomes an absurd extension of the digital.
