My practice is intrinsically linked to the art of making, where the processes occurring during the creation of an artefact become integral to its aesthetic. Encompassing new technologies in my practice, I explore the shaping of mediums using various tools; traditional, virtual, customized or bespoke, by hand, code and machine.
My work has been exhibited internationally, and I am experienced academic.
