Overview
Profile summary
My practice is an inquiry about space, place and the everyday environment. The scope of my work is a broad practice that incorporates spatial and geographical ideas. I am interested in architecture and the city. and I work with the immediate, everyday environment, highlighting those things which are banal, uncanny, and overlooked by responding to sites located in urban contexts.
In recent solo and collaborative work, these projects play with the visual and textual languages of architecture, spatial theory, and urban space, exploring their unintentional relations. In other projects, work focuses on the constraints of built forms and plans, the incongruities and ‘place/less’ or ‘context/less/ness’ of urban objects and artefacts.
My work has crossed over into ideas of art and education, with performance walking or tours. This methodology is also a system for analysing and critiquing space as an embodied activity and for place making with an audience. Recent projects outcomes have a performed element, that is, performed texts, walks, tours and live or video dialogue. They may also take the form of installation or artefacts such as digital drawings and texts. My research complements existing practices of making through drawing and printing and other forms of dissemination such as blog writing and pamphlets.
