My work addresses the nature of particular interior spaces and the way these spaces relate to the collective unconscious. I work in a variety of medias, focusing on drawing, painting and video installation. I do not record actual space rather I film crudely constructed small-scale models of interior spaces in cardboard and masking tape. This footage I combine with animation and sound assembling eerie two-dimensional panoramic films or slide installations projected on a large scale.

The exploration of interior space raises questions as to how we comprehend and negotiate our everyday surroundings. The house is a common ground of experience to all of us, and its interior spaces induce a resonant wealth of evocative and emblematic associations. My work deals with how we intuitively inhabit and interpret a representation of interior space. I aim to dissect the tissue of memory, place and expectation that constitute ‘authentic’ and seamless experiences of reality. By utilising familiar elements and signifiers from the modern collective memory I mean to activate the spectator’s own memory and dreams. My works can thus be seen to operate as a proscenium for the viewer’s personal reverie. The ‘spaces in between’ are exposed and the spectator is left on a metaphorical threshold – between their understanding of actual reality and the incomprehensible and mediated nature of reality per se.
