I work mainly with Sculpture and Installation, making realistic copies of what I see as undervalued or disregarded things.
The resulting sculptural forms are made from the manipulation of a wide range of readily available materials sometimes encompassing found objects. Their staging is given a heightened sense of drama due to alterations of form, scale or unexpected placements.

Recently I have been experimenting with digital photography and video, where like with my sculptural work I am interested in creating absurd and uncanny scenarios that confront people to reappraise their natural sense of wonderment and curiosity.
