My position as a multimedia artist within contemporary art is motivated by the love of art making and the complexities of skilled crafts. Traditional crafts are used in conjunction with digital technology to create a range of artworks that project the context of material reality and the act of the artistic creation.
My work is concerned with capturing the essence of the artist and transferring this information into digital animations that draw on the context of memory and the ability to transfer the endeavour of creation in to a disparate material language. The notion of transformation is evident in all creations and has strong influences with the processes and materials used in the final art work.
Concerned with life, death and immortality, the endurance of creation becomes the main focal point of the work with installations having a time based element, disappearing with audience interaction, allowing the art to become a personal perception, leaving only a trace of the illusion behind.
