Whispering Well, 2004 -

A key theme underlying all the work is the relationship between the fictional and the factual, and the work engages with the contradictions surrounding these two realms and their overlappings. The sculptural works combine physical/sculptural objects with scenographic effects, light and video projection. The videos are often rooted in documentary footage and the sculptural elements relate to objects, whether already existing in our familiar (urban) environment or to historical objects. Many of these works focus on non-visible structures, or "hidden" worlds, which are brought into view in these installations. These can operate literally, metaphorically or historically. The historical - and our perception of history - is an especially significant aspect in the work. Other projects, which most recently have taken the form of drawing projects, make reference to marginal areas of expert knowledge and/or technology - historical, current and future.
