ARTIST STATEMENT
"My work explores the relationship between bodily and spatial experiences. With influences as diverse as Nietzsche, Guy Debord and Jacques Derrida, new insights are generated from both constructed and discovered narratives.
​
Attempting to make meaning of the influx of visual simulation, semiotics, and values depending upon the culture, it had permeated out personal space in a complexed city. The body’s individualism responds differently to aspects of explorative methods and questioning.”
