“My work draws on contemporary theories of installation, museum display, and architecture
The basic tenet of the concept of installation—that artworks always exist in a rela- tionship and dialogue with site and the viewer—is crucial to my practice, and provides the driving force behind the design of the work. I embrace ideas of theat- ricality and narrative, and see the works as nodal points in a network of ideas, ones drawn from the philosophies of science and knowledge, memory, the manner in which architecture and objects produce narratives. Multiple sources connect to this main framework, from science-fiction films, TV, and narratives, to contemporary lit- erature, poetry, and music from the medieval to the contemporary. Scientific ideas from many fields are an important resource, and form a context for the work rather than being illustrated or used as documentary material. The work is accessible, open to interpretation, and laced with a degree of humor.”
