STATEMENT

The work I have done in the last ten years has attempted to explore my (and our) changing relationship to the natural world.  I use ‘natural world’ to refer to the naturally occurring landscape, and to it’s apotheosis in wilderness; and as a term of opposition to the increasingly unnatural suburban/urban/engineered/built environments I find myself in.  My choice of subject hinges on my deep (and deepening) concern about how we as humans are impacting the natural world; and on my interest in how these impacts are affecting me (and us), personally and globally, in return. This underlying concern interacts with other longtime fascinations such as metaphysics, games, chance, memory and simple electronic technology.  My work has evolved into several different bodies. Time Lapses, When the Hunter Gathers, genius loci, Divination Systems (and Lost & Found).
