ARTIST STATEMENT
My audio visual works/installations are abstracted, largely process led adventures mainly on themes of nature/landscape but also with points of reference to mythology and symbolism. They rely heavily on texture and mood and tend to sacrifice the topographical in an attempt to capture the spirit of the places depicted using memory or feeling. Other works are digitally manipulated landscapes designed to evoke a sense of animation and accelerated time-scale.
My education encompassed the practice, theory and history of film. television and sound and took me from Bournemouth College of Art and Design in Dorset, England and finally to West Surrey College of Art and Design (BA 1981). I was senior producer at RTE [Irish state Broadcaster] Cork 1995- 2001 before forming Alchemy Electronic Arts and producing a number of independent film projects. Having always practised as an artist using a wide range of media, I began the most recent work in 2004 and have been encouraged by the reception of my work in recent exhibitions.
