My practice is concerned with how the idea of location often requires the interpretation of coordinates that are exterior to ourselves, how those coordinates shift, disappear and reappear, constantly, how defining who we are, where we are and what our culture means is often possible only through positioning ourselves relative to other things and how and why this has never been more true than it is today.

The communication and information revolution mean that we are aware of, and engaged with the outside world in ways that were not previously possible.  While we also have the capability to project ourselves outwards into that world from virtually anywhere.  Our location is multiple, as must be our understanding of the world that surrounds us.

In much of my work I use photomontage to overtly inject different moments, conditions, and events into a static vista, recording a scene that is physically realistic but which tries to reveal the complex and multi layered reality that permeates the image, in a way that single shot photography or video fails to do.  More recent works involve re-evaluating the lines and contours used in mapping to explore and perhaps better explain how contemporary societies interact.  This work includes ink and paper drawings and large scale public art projects.
