About

I have always been intrigued by apparent inconsistencies in time and space, and by each individual’s unique and shifting sense of reality. I have fractured and reassembled individual photographs to symbolize the building blocks of matter and to suggest the intrusion of alternate worlds.

In my mixed media works, everyday images have been transformed into compositions that hint at invisible, underlying structures and imperceptible extra dimensions. Familiar scenes have been re-imagined: overlaid with new images, tipped over, mashed up, and pushed back – creating jumps through space and time.
