I am a maker of drawings, objects, action and documentation. In all these the composition of elegant results is not the intention. I attempt to question and gain understand by following a process of discovery, fun, construction and destruction. I am not tied to any particular material or process.

To claim true originality is extremely difficult especially when you are aware of and consciously quoting historical context and precedence. I hope that by making new connections between ideas and processes that I can open up fertile ground. I am selfish in pursuing my own furrow but hope the results have resonance with others.
