Welcome to my homepage. I am a practising artist and lecturer. My studio work incorporates digital media, photography, painting and printmaking exploring concepts involving sites of fundamental change through critical analysis determining how particular historical and economic conditions for example, produce a culture of homelessness, a dislocation from traditional cultural sites and the evolution of a "homeless state of being." "The job....is....not to accept the politics of identity as given, but to show how all representations are constructed, for what purpose, by whom, and with what components." Edward Said, Culture and Imperialism, 1994, p380. img 
More recently I have been exploring notions of whiteness, erasure, transparency, transience and the inherent nature of the cultural gaze linked to the generalized and descriptively meaningless “information age”. Exposing the underlying business of surveillance, a tool in creating distance rather than social intimacy, television monitor as a method of information transmission, collapsing time and space, dislocating and destabilizing reality. In essence: I wish to subvert the media image and in doing so, “break its silence, making it speak and resonate, and transforming its hollowness into an echo chamber for human thought.” (p 27., What do pictures want?
