ARTIST STATEMENT
My work is concerned with linking the machinations of power to the individual. It attempts to connect the viewer from current issues by placing them in a context where they are faced with familiar ambiences, which often give way to foreign, uncontrollable motifs. The present is often represented as the past; monumental actions are interchanged with tangeable, familiar movements or images. The sense of distance which is achieved serves to bring about an awareness of the present. I like to present sound or the moving image with objects that work to bring about a mise en scène within the work.
‘Double Scapes’ photography series. Double Scapes is a series of pictures dealing with social and political double standards, and their expression, application and naturalization in modern society.
