My work deals with notions and perception of scale and reality.
It looks at the value of documentation and reproductions of work, and how this reproduction through the lens, affects the nature, and interest of the work.
Does the reproduction add to, or take away from the work? Whatever the medium an artist works in there in they must have a knowledge of lens based media in order to document their work and make it 'real' to a wider audience, I'm interested in how this can be used advantageously to make something look more appealing than it is in reality.
This is true of all things, not just art; from the products in an Ikea catalogue to the events of your life in a photo album.
At the moment I'm making models of fictitious rooms and spaces, often cliched white walled, wooden floored spaces. Within these spaces are installations, incorporating objects, film projection, light and printed images.
These are then documented using photographs and video, and displayed without the model.
