ARTIST'S STATEMENT - I live and work in Edinburgh, Scotland. My practice veers towards performance. I like the idea of re-enacting real life stories and documents, changing the importance of their real life narratives to create quite unpredictable and alternative realities. My fascination is with cultural differences, ideas of ‘the other’, the bizarre and the human belief in magic and oddities. My work can always be seen in two formats, 2d and 3d, this constant push and pull of different dimensions directly references my interests in reality and fantasy. The further I push these ideas the more I need to collaborate with others, this always adds a very human and unexpected quality to the work.
