My art practice is a device inviting the spectator to question and investigate our familiar fields of knowledge and imagination. The material of the everyday initiates my curiosity. I am interested in the capacity that art owns to take you from that space in that moment, to another space. I see my work as an idle observation of life like a doodle. Therefore, it is always in the making, constantly re-interpreting the fabric of reality.
I have used a large variety of mediums over the years, ranging from small drawings to large installations and live performances…
More recently, simple replicas or re-modelled versions of existing objects - such as maps, texts, diagrams and charts, photos, manufactured objects of all kind - have been utilized to create incisive and intriguing moments. Humour is sometimes diffused in the work to elicit a feeling of complicity between the spectator and the piece. It is often found within the titles of the work. However, my art practice is not about playing with words but more about trying to document the art/life inherent correlation…
