Research
My research sits in the territory defined as ‘digital’. My output has origins in the physical processes of drawing, painting, and printmaking. My preference is to draw with a mobile phone or construct ‘sculpture and objects’ through the use of appropriate software. I've also taken imagery from digital sources into the physical world, through exhibitions and commissioned work.
