• Merging design, moving image and art-based practice, my work revolves around investigations into sensory experience manifested through the use of colour, pattern and symbolism. Initial research into ritual uses of pattern and iconography has evolved into a broader examination of chaos and creation in the cosmos, locating its presence in the ‘everyday’ or mundane. Sensations of exhilaration, obliteration and disorientation are created through a textural exploration of artificial landscapes, phenomena of visual perception, art-historical clichés and patterns of disaster.
