Artist Statement:
My Moving Image is
non-narrative, poetic and
abstract. My subjects are
generated by scientific and
optical ideas, by way of a
philosophical translation into
form. So the meaning of my
works can be traced back to
universal truths concerning
light and shade, or the pull
of magnetism and how that is
akin to psychological
tendencies. I never came
across a scientific theory or
astronomical fact that I
couldn’t relate directly to my
own thinking, or the human
experience. It is as if the
Universe is a model of the
internal experience, subject
to laws, some of which we can
comprehend. My work is a quest
to translate such nebulous
ideas into form.
My practice is also
informed by years of
photographic experimentation.
I have a highly developed
aesthetic style, and create
images without computer
manipulation, tricking the
camera into revealing layers
of reality. I have an
inventive, low-tech approach
to work, striving for simple
ways to show layers of
complexity and paradox. In
many ways I see my videos as
multi-faceted photographs, or
photographs which exist in
time rather than on paper.
