ARTIST STATEMENT
My current perspective centres on art as a therapeutic outlet for traumatic and repressed memories of events and situations. The complex nature of mortality, loss and emotional trauma often render their expression difficult or impossible because so much is tied-up deep within the subconscious. Using a wide range of media (paint, photography, 3-D construction) and a range of complimentary stimuli (like music, lighting, visual obstruction and work environment) and combining some of the products of these differing media and techniques, I experiment with ways to give voice to the subconscious.
