About me
As a practicing artist for many years my work has situated around the topic of taboo; often confronting the public with their prejudices in non-traditional gallery spaces. Using various mediums of sculpture and still image, my practice explores humanitarian issues to build awareness and promote subjects of controversy through a visual language.
