In general my work is concerned with the relationship between fiction and fact. I use sculpture, photography, video and sound. Conceptually, I'm interested in creating sculptures as artefacts, evidence of events within my own narratives.
In 2006, I began working on the Museum of Lost Worlds. My first project involved exhibiting fragments from a crashed Kingdom of Wandaland aeroplane. I am interested in validating objects through their display in a museum context. I back this up with often absurd logic, questioning truth, authenticity, and the malleable nature of history.
My photographic works are generally more intuitive in their process. While well set up, they seek to reflect an urge to transcend the heavy awkwardness of reality. Objects become tools to aid the ceremonial performance; they often illustrate a hopeful anticipation of possibilities in the face of inevitable failure.
