Artist Statement
I specialise in the use of digital media, in particular, sound, video and digital installation. My work explores pathos within playfulness, humour and the everyday. I create settings in which the mundane and the playful, ordinary gesture can suddenly invoke existential and poetic meanings. Through my art practice, I seek to understand pathos, our personal experiences and how we interact with rules and each other. I am interested in the intimate spaces we create that exist between human beings, such as temporary spaces that exist when we play games. My work explores spoken and unspoken words, intakes of breath, reactions to specific experiences and situations, internalisation of thoughts and what we choose to present of ourselves to the outside world.
