biography
I am a multi-media artist with a practice concentrated on human/environment relationships. I currently live and work on the land of the Dharug and Gundungurra people in the Blue Mountains, although I often travel to make work in specific landscapes. I am engaged in ongoing deliberate explorations of various landscapes as observers and as active participants, mapping physical and emotional terrain. The way I make work often revolves around the process of field studies - returning to specific landscapes over time and the process of play - interaction with each other and the environment with no particular outcome in mind. I use photography and video to document these processes and then often add further layers of sound, sculpture and found objects to develop the ideas that have surfaced through our activity. I have worked together like this in a variety of landscapes and contexts to create mixed-media installations and internet based works. The theoretical approach that most informs my work is the study of Human Ecology, which is the trans-disciplinary study of systems theory, applying the principles of ecosystems sciences to the study of the human environment. My work also celebrates notions of mystery and wonder, the centrality of the sense experience, the poetic relationship between science and philosophy and the meeting of the rational with the intuitive.
