Artist statement

The work navigates the boundaries between traditional art making and new technologies in an experimental manner working both independently and collaboratively using several different mediums but primarily expanded print materiality and how it has integrated/expanded into the fields of sculpture and Installation. Current work engages within site-specific events gathering sound, fauna and obsolete objects related to space and place with rural environments, transferring ideas into embodied sculptural artworks, casts and works on paper referencing the index of a process. My work explores the phenomena around human intervention within a rural environment and artwork’s connection within cultural geography.
