ARTIST STATEMENT

My work explores themes of pictorial space, technological mediation, and the act of observation. Photographs, surveillance camera images, touchscreen displays, and newspaper cuttings have each formed starting points for artworks concerned with how these familiar media shape our understanding of reality and influence our daily lives. Choosing to depict natural and human forms, my work invites viewers to reflect on the interplay between the natural world and technology; between direct and mediated experience, and between hand-making and mechanical production.
