The driving force behind my work is in understanding what lies beyond. Beyond perception, beyond intellect, beyond identity.
What lies beyond is the foundation of all that is here. Joy and Pain. Fire and Love. The courage and fear within daily life. For me however, all that is here, all that we experience and encounter as humans is the foundation of what lies beyond. The two are interdependent.
My works reflect the manner with which I view and live my life. I work within the construct of reiterative divergence. Subtle, steady progress and development - the consistent techniques and the inter-related aesthetics of my works are refined through time and experience. This translates into each and every piece being a culmination, whilst also being a link in the chain of my output. There is no destination, and every moment is the destination.
I work within a diverse set of mediums: music/sound, fiber, paint, video, paper and illustration. The aesthetic may differ with each medium, however their foundation is singular. In this diversity, I have found a freedom and electricity previously unknown.
