My practice takes direction from Modernist principles – with a strong focus on the formal elements, (such as line, shape, and colour), abstraction and the use of grids. But as part of my creative process I intentionally use chance and accident, which means that the works are not fully pre-determined. Often chance and accident disrupt the works and send them into new directions. Sometimes they determine the work completely,
Typically I make screen prints and wall based installations, which inter-relate.
Much of my recent work has dealt with the ethical dilemmas that I see arising from modern medicine, which now has an incredible ability to extend human life. By setting medication in a modernist frame of reference the works ask the question “Is medication actually delivering the utopian ideals of Modernism?” Is prolonging life in this way really giving a better human experience? Or resulting tragically, instead just in prolonged suffering.
