The transformation of elemental conditions, materials and places into distilled microcosmic concepts forms the source of recent works, most often expressed in film, photography, sculpture, drawing and installation.
Primary means such as light, energy, space and scale are used as a catalyst to explore perceptions of time and the temporal, thoughts and processes. Weaving together randomness and symmetric complexities under varying spatial context, proposing lingering and poetic reflections.
