Artist Statement
Exploring, curating and art making is a methodology that suggests the human condition is more complex than it is currently understood, I examine, instigate and provoke notions of the individual experience through specifically focusing on philosophical discourse, body image, embodiment & ethics. I acknowledge there is power within the un-well body and believe there is tremendous value and potency through examining these subjects through the contemporary art lens.
