Artist Statement

Using disjunction as a key conceptual basis, I explore its mechanisms and intervention between perception, memory, and time; through the cognitive spaces that we inhabit and experience - whether physical, emotional, simulated, or in the hyperreal. Can we redefine the time and place we inhabit? Where do we explore memories and places, fragmented in time? What does it mean to reproduce a space in time? I research these questions working with hybrid forms, psychoacoustics, language, performance and moving image.
