My research and practice are concerned with ideas about myth, belief systems, loss and memory. In all my work I play the role of conduit between spaces and horizon points related to this theme. I combine both historical and fictional narratives with my own to foster new ones, to explore ontological potential: the nature of being. I am working with the idea of Autobiography
and the problems of mythologizing the past. The autobiographical text serves as a blind spot from which to access my studio practice.The materiality of brass, oak and light play a role in my story and, in turn, their own stories: their life as materials mined and milled, managed as resources and used historically. My essential investigation is that of space and the notion of Raumempfindung
or ’felt volume’ a Bauhaus concern. My work extends this idea towards a meta-space of experiential memory. [ more information ]
