My practice is made manifest through heightened awareness of existence in the everyday areas of human thought, behaviour and experience. Drawings are processed via the biological phenomenon of ‘being’ as detected by my sense of sight and communicated through my body. I draw my environment as I see it in real time - tracing and re-tracing the visible - thereby finding elements often concealed by the primacy of sight. My work interrogates space, time and language. Over time I have adopted various visual processes and methods to address and communicate these issues. Drawing is the basis of all my work, extending towards drawing IN installation, drawing IN performance with interactive situations and drawing IN sound and video installations.

The lines I draw take the shapes of objects I look at whilst drawing, and at the same time, they are containers of situations, conversations and dreams which happen simultaneously to a process of drawing. The resultant drawing “substance” with movable/changeable elements, shape, and size opens its inventory of meaning to repeated re-definition.
