there and here

   I often use specific environments and the dialogue with the users or inhabitants as the starting point for works. As well as being involved with and part of society, my work is essentially tangible, providing the viewer with an opportunity to undergo both an aesthetic and a conceptual experience. One focus of these works has been to relate to architectural space, creating a spatial link between the artwork and the inhabitable space of society at large. In recent projects, I have taken a more intimate, socially oriented approach, involving the input of different groups of people in the creation of the work itself.

   Whether public or private space, however, the generation, creation, and presentation of the work is integrated into its surroundings. The imagery used can be seen as a form of alternative cartography, a piecing together of new perspectives using various remnants of maps, patterns, flags, lines and grids. Psychological displacement, shared vulnerabilities and an awareness of the world's essential temporality are ultimately elaborated into autonomous works with universal value that can transcend a simply local or communal process.
