My work is about paying attention to the subtler more discreet, sensory discoveries of coincidental environments.
It involves observation and recordings of natural processes through audio visual methods.  
Found elements in a real world environment are the raw material for my art.
This is what could be called the poetic aspect of my art as an ongoing process.
It is a process and practice that realizes those changing, invisible dynamics of organisms
and physical realities that we seldom see, but that exist as facets of the everyday in our world. 
Found sound, recorded fragments, all elements that our sense of being,
these assemblages, cropping, re-assembling, seem coincidental but are actually very conscious orchestrations
of that which we cannot possess, but that come to us throughout and through life as we live it.
 
Forming, de forming, presence and absence, fragmentation and integration, association and dissociation,
all these elements play a key part in my art.

My art manifests itself through sound, printmaking, photography, text and in the process, becomes a reflection.
This reflection is about the interface between perception and experience, a process that the viewer can respond to directly.
Less about interpretation or conception, my art triggers physical and experiential cues.
The audience / artist interaction involves movement and perception.
