My practice unearths the repressed permeability of unstable yet prized constructs, such as rationality and consciousness, exploring the process and drive behind the production of the work of art.
Influenced by the dialogue between arts and the spiritual, anthropology and science, my work attempts to question belief systems, examining resonances, parallels and intersections between these different structures. Working in a meditative way, I draw upon and respond to the properties of different materials, such as felt, copper, lead, gold, crystals, plants and found objects.
Central to my practice is our relationship to seeing, truth, knowledge and perception. The photographic thus becomes a central focus, in which our biological eye and neuro-scientific sensory system of light perception are drawn upon and explored within a poetic framework. The flash-gun pulsing as lightning, the hovering unfixed after image as memory trails are incorporated into performances, filmic works and installations.
I have been showing in alternative spaces as well as galleries. Recently had my first solo show at the belfry of St. John's on Bethnal Green Church. Together with Emma Backlund, Sun Shi and Alice Serraino, founded The Kitchen Gallery, an artist run show in a conventional kitchen at an East London flat. Have co-curated the London College of Communication photo book table for Offprint London at Tate Modern for two consecutive years. I also co-edit the S:KIN Journal together with Emma Backlund and Ramona Guntert. Group shows include Lumen: School of Light, Brighton Photo Fringe, Paper, Publication, Performance at Lychee One Gallery, Psyche Valuations at White Conduit Projects.
Projects
- God's ParticleThe Higgs Boson is an elementary particle initially theorized in 1964, and tentatively confirmed to exist on 14 March 2013. The discovery has been called "monumental" because it appears to confirm the existence of the Higgs field, which is pivotal to the Standard Model and other theories within particle physics. In this discipline, it explains why some fundamental particles have mass when the symmetries controlling their interactions should require them to be mass-less, and—linked to this—why the weak force has a much shorter range than the electromagnetic force.
- Immaterial/PalpableInvisible subtle energy occurs around us all the time, and is measurable by science. Energy can be created and manipulated in many ways. It is the live blood of a civilization, and therefor an important resource. As long as we think we are more advanced than we ever been, we are blind to technology based on subtle energies. Fate, destiny, karma, miracles, they're all intangibles in the invisible energies of the universe, yet their narratives, stories and conclusions are as visible as the ways they've been written, lived and ultimately shaped our life.
