return to artist list

My work is about process. I am attracted to everyday materials which I transform and put to my own use. In many ways my installations, whether on the wall or in a field, feel like musical compositions which always have two lives: the first, as the piece is conceived and composed and the second, when it is performed.

When I have finished an installation it is photo- documented and then taken apart. The elements are saved, often to be revisited in a new context. Finally just as music exists only in time this work exists for a finite time in a specific setting.
